Lucky Penny Day 2022
 |
I have a lot of very old cent pieces which I have accumulated over the years. In particular Indian Head and Wheat cents predominate those in my collection. I have no Lincoln Memorial cents in my collection of which I am aware.
I don't view any of those pennies as particularly lucky.
My only "lucky" piece is a rectangular troy ounce silver ingot with a bass relief Desert Storm scud missile spoof because it was given to me by my late best friend Dewitt. I sometimes hold it and reminisce then set it aside and cherish it for that reason.
Today is US National Lucky Penny Day.
It goes down each May 23rd and is one of those upbeat events whereby you ostensibly look down and find a penny. Hopefully a rare penny.
