I thought it was a little weird that I got something this age, that looks so good, in change today. It's not common for this to happen with me. The pictures don't do this coin justice.
I see it has a couple of dings but they are small. It shows no sign of wear from what I can see. It must have been in a change jar for a really long time.
I used to go through lots of nickel rolls back in '74- '76. I wanted to make a roll set of all the dates in circulation. Of course the '50-D, '39-D etc were impossible but I got most of it including a whole roll of '71-P's that looked like this. It's a tough date.
Now days there are a lot of tough dates and some are very hard to find in BU rolls.
I found an '87-D yesterday, that literally made my jaw drop. Had to call the Mrs. on her last day of work, forever. I've tried countless pics w/a new camera.Problem is, it was a webcam, a gift. With a sharp focus, there are white pixels moving all over the image. Dont know the shutter-bug lingo to accompany this post. The coin, however, came outta the roll, outshing the '11 & '12s, with a blinding luster.A complete set of steps crowns this jewel, with nary a blemish.
