A penny for my thoughts? Only a penny? Really?
This thin flat cent is from the year 1961.
What adventures has this weathered 55-year-old been on?
How many hands and pockets have held it?
Who has saved it and who has wished it away?
Somebody dropped it or tossed it aside.
Was the copper coin lost, forgotten, abandoned, overlooked and ignored before I noticed it and picked it up from the ground?
