Hey folks! As I've stated before, I've been out of the coin loop since around the bicentennial. I have been vintage comics. About 5 weeks ago this quarter comes flying out of our change machine at work.
And then 2 days later, this one.... My question is, are these types of coins a common occurrence out there in the wild?
Usually they get spent when the uninformed acquire them via inheritance or theft. Sometimes, a collector may release them to the wild when they lose interest or have no heirs to appreciate them.
wow, nice finds! yeah, not too common, but it happens. some people who don't know any better put them into circulation, for who-knows-what-reason... been a while since I last pulled an impaired proof from circulation. good score!
