Beautiful Penny

I just thought I would share this 1958 D penny that I found in a bankroll today. It isn't an error coin or anything. I like it because it is the nicest wheat penny I have ever found in circulation.

    These sometimes appear as heirs dump coins from hoarded rolls back into circulation after the original owner has died.

    That is a very nice cent for 61 years old.... Likely from an old collection.... I would put it away for sure. Cheers, RickO

    Always neat to find a shiny coin in circ and then realize it was madr decades ago.

    It's got to be really something when you crack open a roll and a coin like yours pops out among the regular stuff.

    Uncirculated 1957 and 1958 wheat rolls are occasionally available at coin shows for under $10. I think they're a good value at that price. When I began collecting, 60-year-old (Indian) cents were still occasionally found in circulation, but nice uncirculated examples were already several dollars each.
