    Jumpin' Jeehoseyphat, man! A BU?!?

    That's crazy.

    Fairly obvious that somebody ignorant stole Daddy's collection, eh?

    I thought the color-toned AU+++ (borderline BU) 1950-something Jeff I got out of the till at work was something, but that's nuts for a circulation find.

    I got a BU 1940 Jeff with nearly full steps out of a bank roll of then-new 1992-P nickels, back in '92. That was crazy, too. And then there's the odd time or two I've gotten a proof in change. But that is the first BU Wheatie I've heard of being found in change in MY lifetime.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Or a roll. I once got some wheat cents in change at my local grocery store. When I saw what I was being given I asked the young lady if I could have all the pennies in the drawer and she gave them to me. I think there were about 20 wheaties in there. Nothing special but hey, a wheat cent is a wheat cent.

    I got a roll of solid Wheaties at a bank, once, but they weren't BU!

    I have NEVER gotten a Mercury dime in circulation.

    Got a few Buffalo nickels way back when, most of them dateless.

    Superb find! Hopefully junior didn't raid daddy's coin collection. Think he cracked it out of a PCGS slab to because he was a cent short for ice cream?

    WOW!!! That's nice. I get excited when I find a 1960ish penny in that condition.

    It really surprised me. It's in xf+ condition. I really like the cent, nice red color.

    I have always liked that holed King of Siam set. Is it in a genuine holder now?
