one red cent

I received the above penny (not its real size, goosie) in change recently. Santa did not bring it to me. At first, I thought it was a Canadian penny. Canadian pennies were pretty common in change in Montana, and I thought nothing of it until I realized I wasn't in Montana any longer, so I looked closer.

It was an 1894 penny.

That's one ten-thousandth of what got lost in the writing desk in On the Way Home. I think I'll buy a nice slate pencil.
