I have been neglectful. All the same boring excuses that no one wants to know about, and then it happened. I found my first 2009 coin in circulation. A pleasant surprise, and more so since it’s a Philadelphia coin. Usually it’s the Denver’s I find first and the Philadelphia’s that can be harder to come by. So I made a point of finding some time to take pictures and post. And to wonder how long it will take to find the other 2009 coins in circulation.
