Better than a lucky penny

When I was walking home from work yesterday I saw a small square of plastic with a slip of paper inside which had a name written on it. It peaked my interest but not enough to go and pick it up. On my way to work this morning along the same road I saw it was still there so I picked up only to find that it was actually a plastic coin holder which still contained a 1895-S BARBER HALF DOLLAR . It’s in VERY worn condition, most all the detail is rubbed off the portrait, but still how often do you find a 113 year old coin just sitting on the sidewalk?
