I still have mine from 1972. This was probably the first mint purchase I ever made, at age 10.  |

On the subject of cents and tobacco, I remember when cigarettes from a vending machine had two or three as change on the side of the pack (they were $0.77 per pack). There I go showing my age again.

Westernsky,
You are correct — my 1972 bag has five coins from each mint. Only 14 are left, I think one of the S mint coins ended up in a long forgotten Whitman folder!

Looks like MJD's set has a little more browning going on than WesternSky's but both are very interesting for the perspective on the mint products back then.
Did you both get them at the Denver Mint?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I have read that many 1955 double die Lincolns were found in packs of cigarettes out of machines. I don't remember getting cigarettes with the cents, but I sure remember paying 40 cents a pack. So I must have seen the cent change packs if you are remembering them at 77 cents. |
