Lucky Penny Goes Through War For Fourth Time
A Civil War era copper penny, carried by Arnold R. Kugler, is described as a talisman that served in four wars. The token passed from Rufus Cullom in Civil War times to later generations, traveling through Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II experiences involving Metropolis residents. The tale recounts near-misses, battles, and the coin’s journey across families and conflicts before ending up with Arnold Kugler at Fort Mase State Park.
