KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 09:42 am Nice find but it wouldn't have needed to come out of a mint set - there's lots of uncirculated or near uncirculated 50's wheaties that have been saved from business strikes over the years.

cladking Pillar of the Community United States 2271 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 11:05 am It is hammered. It seems a disproportionate number of lightly worn coins showing up in circulation recently are very well made coins suggesting they've been cherry picked and the specimen didn't make the cut. Maybe the owner didn't like the spotting on the reverse. It may well have originated in a mint set. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 11:12 am I can see from here that it's a RPM. No one else notices Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 2:35 pm I have bags of 1950's reds that I swear I will 'some day' look through. More than likely, my kids will take them to the bank, hopefully none to soon. A lot of 50's reds make it into circulation that way as so few bank tellers even glance at what come in.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/11/2015 2:50 pm Agree with mox. I don't have bags of 50s reds, but I do have at least a half dozen rolls of 1957-1958 each mint, and I'll bet 75% of them are red or part red. Report this Post to the Staff
