Excellent find. Likely someone 'upstream' broke up a collection/hoard and the coin was released into circulation. I've done that myself over the years--put a few AU+/low MS grade wheat cents into circulation from time to time..

What a beauty!

I was impressed to find an almost-as-nice 1958-D on the sidewalk a couple of months back.

One of the nicest finds I've seen! Appears to be at least MS-63 or higher. About a $5 coin!

Oddly enough, I've found a bunch of these kinds of coins in circulation. Coincidentally, I moved a few years ago and for some reason, my new area is chock full of these things floating around and I don't even search rolls, I get them in change..

I've gotten a couple of Proof coins, wheat cents and pennies from the 60s and 70s that are a bit dinged up bit really in amazing condition considering their age.. its kinda strange.. I figure maybe they've just been sitting in the banks all this time and finally making their way to stores..

Here are a few of them, not sure if it's all of them, just the ones I could find pictures of.. there could be a few more, not many though

Nice find.

Appears that a collector is seeding the local circulation change with some lower value but nice coins.

There are at least a couple other options but I hope that is the accurate one.
