I got 53 cents in change at my local coffee shop this weekend. The Three Cents all looked uncirculated. When I flipped them over I was shocked to see that one was a Wheat penny. Upon further review I noticed 2/3 of them were over 50 years old and still as shiny as the new shield cent. Here are the shots of my new 1955S, 1959D and 2014P. I asked the cashier for some more pennies but I didn't get anything else as nice.

You should have purchased a lottery ticket immediately thereafter.

Good one - I never found a '55-S in circulation even in 1955!

It's funny how one penny can really brighten your day.

Out of thousands of $'s, hundreds of boxes of cents I've gone through in my lifetime since 2004, I can tell you I've never found a 1955 S...ever.

I wonder if someone dumped a collection recently.

I would have gone back and asked if I could buy all their Cents in the cash register.
