Best Modern Circulating Coin



Love these things as they actually are a circulation issue, not a low mintage collectible made for collectors sold to collectors and traded by collectors. Although they were mostly pulled out by roll hunters, a few hung out in the wild for a while. I've personally received two in change and many in roll hunts. This one is an example of one that evaded detection a bit too long lol. Even in this condition I still paid $7. Used to be you could pick up BUs at $5-$10. That didn't last long!


P.S. Thought about tagging this post with "Error Coin" just to push people's buttons xD

    That sets the bar a little high, doesn't it? B)

    The title of the thread and the price you paid pushed plenty of buttons I'm sure.

    Honestly best price I've paid for one in a while. I like the circulated ones just as evidence that some did circulate.

    I've been looking for a wheat cent that was made with one fresh [EDS] die and one old die [VLDS with cracks and PIDT]. A variety would be a bonus -- Still looking...

    I'm sure there must be a few in circulation by now. It's artistic and it's historic as a circulating commemorative coin.

    And suddenly controversial, per the other thread!

    Even in this condition I still paid $7.

    You must be joking...please tell us you are joking.

    Einstein’s view of God was non-traditional and pantheistic, focusing on the harmony, order, and intelligibility of the cosmos rather than a personal deity. His quotes reveal a profound respect for the universe’s mysteries, a belief in rational laws, and a moral philosophy grounded in compassion and understanding, bridging science and spirituality.

    “My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”

    Looks like a rare mint error coin I found in the parking lot at Trader Joe’s last week. I put it on eBay for $5000 but no takers yet…….

    You got more?
    Maybe, I’d have to see them. I bought that one for myself, more I’d need somewhere to go with them.
