Flipping a steel penny I am consistently calling
and landing, all the while calculating probability and
creeping past odds. People ask me why I keep a buffalo nickel and
a liberty dime in my wallet. I tell them its for
luck. I tell them its because my great grandfather gave them to my
grandfather who in turn gave them to my father. Now I have them.
Really its because you never know when you are going to need
fifteen cents. I once knew a man who stumbled upon large quantities of old
bills. Red seals and blue seals. Silver certificates that read "In Silver Payable to
the Bearer on Demand". Little did the bill bearers in the days of yore know
what would transpire some seventy years later.
Its still got the mint luster on it baby and every flip,
every call,
and every time I beat the odds it is wearing away.
Sixty-five years worth of wear to show you that I never guess
wrong. If I ever find a one sided coin mint error I will sell it
because I need it not. I told you-I never guess wrong.
