Nice, great pics. Now if you can only find a 2017 Lincoln cent with no mintmark. That is likely a full torch or full bands on the second dime. TC
Coincidentally I got my first 2017 dated coins, albeit three "effigy mound" quarters all from the Denver mint when I took my daughter out for lunch yesterday.
I got this in change last Sunday. The store used be a chain called Majick Market, I think. I was in line one day in 1974 in this same store when a geek started to squeal about a war nickel he'd just gotten in change. And the geek with him said, it's a proof. He then took a flip from his wallet and the two placed the nickel in it. I was pretty annoyed about this because I had just started collecting and that nickel should have been mine. Not only was I out geeked, I didn't even have a flip in my wallet or much money either to buy flips with. But now 43 years later in this exact same spot that I have been to at most perhaps five more times since 1974, I get a war nickel in change. I assure everyone I'm still rocking in ecstasy. But that's not what I' m here to talk about. Why is it that I can beat what seem to be fantastic odds with this coin but I can't beat the powerball odds?
No flip. I decided if I carried one in my wallet it would be bad luck-- like the wallet condom that never gets used.
