Hey...I just got an Indian Head cent in change

I couldn't believe it. I just went to the store to buy some Christmas lights and the lady at the checkout gave me a 1882 Indian Head cent back for change. The coin is only a good, but I can't remember ever having this happen to me before...and it probably won't happen again.
"Have a nice day!"

    No, way! image

    That's amazing! image

    Is it beat up at all, or just worn? A problem-free Good? image

    Little things like that can help to make your day.
    My sister gave me a 38S dime in VF last year.
    The biggest find was many years ago when my father was teaching, he brought me an 1831 Capped Bust dime in either F 02 or AG 03. I have no idea where he got it (yes, I still have the coin).

    i pulled a 1920 5c from a bank roll yesterday.

    how would you grade it if you could just barely make out the 2 and 0 in the date.

    G4? AG3?

    wouldnt a readable date make it a G4?
    or does it need to be full readable date.

    Now that you've got an old coin in change you must return the favor: Go spend an old coin.
