Sorry Ron - I was not around in 1909 like you.
All of my baseball cards got ripped up when using them as noise makers in the spokes of my Schwinn bike or were lost to buddies flipping cards against the school wall.
I remember my father telling the story about funny looking pennies they saw in the cash register of his business. It was 1955. The funny pennies were 1955 double struck. He said that he probably had 5 rolls of those pennies and gave them out as change. Each mint condition penny is now worth over $1000.00
