They maybe be common numbers wise, but I haven't been given an SBA in years. I've spent them....
Heck, I've only been handed one silver coin in my life. A Mercury dime. I'm 33 years old and grew up California. We never got cool coins where I grew up. A wheatie was rare. I've never been handed a Kennedy either, kind of sad.

I couldn't figure out what you were trying to get through to us, the readers. If you're posting for yourself, fine. But public forums are for discussions, and I just didn't get it. To me, it was a common coin (I see those fairly often), and not a pristine example at that. If the text was "Look what I got in change; the cashier thought it was a quarter!" then I'd understand the reason for the post. Or if was a comparison between two coins, but it's just the one, circulated, SBA.
Sorry, your post just didn't make much sense to me.

You haven't been rude, I've just grown a thin skin about this because Hobo is rude. But it is what it is. Its an interesting circulation find. It seems for some discussing nice examples of recently circulated coins which are worthy notoray is just to painful your their snippy view of the hobby.

If I have been rude to you in previous posts it certainly was not my intention and I apologize. Apparently I am not the only one who wondered why you choose to post your pocket change. What I intended as tongue-in-cheek humor when responding to those posts has been taken as rudeness. I did not intend to be rude to you and I sincerely apologize.

Please forgive my ignorance (newness), but what exactly is it about this coin that inspired you to share it with us? I ask because I have a few 1979 SBA-s and would like to know what to look for in them. Thanks

Its as simple and as straight forward as that. No magic. Just a clean, nice pull from circulation for a coin that has been in circulation for over 35 years.
