I received 2 of these in change yesterday, pretty good shape I think.


Sorry not good at taking photo's.

    Amazing shape-given the age and the way that those circulated.

    Probably another case of heirs dumping coins they found back into circulation. The coins of that era were heavily hoarded in the hopes of future riches.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Nothing wrong with a nice coin like this, one does get them :)

    Yep... I find wheaties once or twice a month, and keep them. I used to find a Buff nickel now and then, but none for a few months now. Have not seen a Merc in change for about a year. Cheers, RickO

    @hvellente ... No, I just keep them and one day I will go through them to see if there is anything special. Maybe spend them after that. Cheers, RickO

    Or collectors. Or dealers. What would you do with a roll of Circ 1960 cents? Hoard it forever?
