WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?
No, dingus. Not that penny.
THIS MOTHER FUCKING 88 YEAR-OLD PENNY
Trying to find enough change to buy some Sun Chips and *BAM* ANCIENT PENNY.
No banana for scale because it's a god damn penny.
THIS BAD BOY WENT INTO CIRCULATION THE SAME YEAR GATSBY WAS PUBLISHED
"PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS, OLD SPORT?"
TOO EXCITED, I STARTED PUTTING HIM AROUND THE OFFICE
"TELEPHONE, YOU SAY? I'M ONLY FAMILIAR WITH THE ROTARY PHONE, AS THE MODERN TOUCH-TONE PUSH DIAL WON'T BE INTRODUCED FOR ANOTHER 38 YEARS."
"IS THIS SOME FANCY FLAT TYPEWRITER?"
OH WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
Doesn't it look like Lincoln is smirking?
Smug-ass motherfucker.
I no longer have the penny, for a beast of such majesty should not be held in captivity. If any of you stumbles upon it, I expect pics.
I'll never forget you, Abraham Pennysworth.

You need to calm your shit, this is not that uncommon.

As a coin collector... it's worth about 10 cents. I have tons of old pennies like that. They're actually not all that uncommon.

I have about 7 rolls of wheat pennies, but I never got excited like this. I feel like I have wasted joy in a box on my dresser now...

Based on condition I would estimate ~$1. I'm no expert though.

you should get it checked to see how much it is worth. It could be worth a lot.

Do not clean it.

You do realize that this may possibly be worth a shit ton of money? I know 1928 pennies are. Look online dude, you may be rich.
markymarktwine
I have an Indian penny from. 1907
KingCuda13
That's going to cost you a pretty penny.

I actually once found a penny from 1907 and instead of Abe Lincoln, it had a Native American head on it. Then I lost it :(
BirdAndBearAndHareAndFish
Looks like @raryray6 found your penny....
beetchkumate
YOU DO REALIZE THAT PENNY WAS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN ONE CENT RIGHT>?

this could be worth from 55 cents to 300 bucks, yknow! http://cointrackers.com/coins/13539/1925-wheat-penny/
maelstr0m
This one is in bad enough condition it's probably worth cents. $300 is for a never-circulated condition.
mt77932
In that condition a 1925 Philadelphia mint penny is worth about 50 cents to one dollar.

hweat penny
DeathMaker900
judging by the site and the picture its looks more like its in the 1 cent range lol

Glad I'm not the only one who looked up its value
RichardNugget
nope, nope, nope, nope
Koantum
I have a hard time believing this considering I have seen countless pennies from before 1925.
IAmAdolfHitlerCommanderoftheThirdReich
Same. At one point I had a huge jar of ONLY wheat pennies from between ~1900 and ~1966. 99% of them were worth... .01c.
ShirtlessCurtis
Please send me ALL THE PENNIES you find before 1925! As a coin collector, i'd be...giddy (for lack of a better term) and forever greatful.
JimmyKillsAlot
You have to factor in that during, between, and just post either world war the economy was a bit lopsided and sometimes change was melted.

But not quite as expensive.
IOPsyGuy
As a former Avaya employee, I have no comment.
fridflenstone
Then what is this? I am so confused.
IOPsyGuy
I worked for Avaya from 2009 to 2012. I saw it was an Avaya phone and wanted to say something, so I did.
fridflenstone
Fair enough. What did you do over there?
IOPsyGuy
Project managed the certification exams. Did you work there?

Mmmm yes, I wholly concur.

Dude, we have one of them at my work that my dad bought in the eighties. Still works like a champ, no crackle in the earpiece or anything.

Nice commercial phone systems are expensive but they work forever and they don't stop working unless you physical break them.

it is a Avaya Legend MLX10D-W. I think they are from like 1998.
