Because sometimes you see a coin in your change that just seems too pretty not to pluck and save. This really clean Lincoln with a cool color and luster just caught my eye.
That's nice, especially from a circulation find! I have done the same with some nice circulation finds; they are just too nice to spend (two of these are now in my type set album-a Nevada State quarter and a 1958 Jefferson Nickel).
The color of my original photo seemed a little off so I re-image the coin. I think this photo is better.
