Common as dirt... or is it?

How many of this type have you seen in junk boxes over the years?

PrivateCoinCollector

Not that pretty.

I've seen a bunch of those, but not like that. Nice specimen.

One of my favorites I just purchased a 1951 in ms65

Hint: Look up this particular date...

JRC

Yes, I have a lot of them in VF to EX condition.
I recall getting most of them in bulk world coin purchases within the last six months. One from the East coast and one from the West coast.

With over 6 million minted, I wouldn't call it a scarce issue. However, I haven't tried to acquire one, so don't know how hard it would be to do so. It's quite a looker, though. I like yours a lot, CP. And as always - great photos.

Those minted in 1959 might have been struck with 1960 dates or a lot of the 1959 dates were melted down ( perhaps by accident when collectors tried to AT them in a hot oven )

Okay. I see now what your getting at. When you wrote "type" , I assumed you meant the series as a whole.
