Over the last two weeks I received these two Red BU Lincoln Memorials in change. The 1960-D was in my change at the grocery store two weeks ago. Last week I received the 1968-D at a gas station in northern Wisconsin while on a trip.

I know neither is rare or valuable, but it is nice to find a BU coin that's 50 years old or so in change. It always gets you wondering where it's been all these years.

Finding 50 year old BU coins in circulation is so fun!

I have had it happen to me and it always puts a smile on my face.

Wonder if those are part of the 6,970 AU/BU I dumped in the bank a few months ago, maybe worked their way 600 miles north?

That '60-D looks like a Large Date the may have been in someone's collection. Both of those pieces are worth a few bucks. :)

Weird to think 1960 will soon be 60 years ago.
