[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 4992435, member: 107016"]This past Saturday I was at the gas station fueling up my car, got the change back and was pretty surprised at the coins I received. Three brand new, right off the press pennies, a 1974 D, 1976 D and a 1977 S, all in immaculate condition. Trips me out that such coins with older dates are found in circulation which are in near immaculate condition. Got to wonder why these are just starting out in circulation now, after so long from being minted. On top of that, in the same change I also got my first V75 W quarter. All the previous W quarters I received in my change didn't have the V75. This is the first of that kind I've received. Later on in the day, I was at 7-11 picking up a liquid refreshment and in my change is a 1954 D wheat penny. It's in ok shape for being out in circulation. Later at home looking closer at it, as I do with all of my change, I discovered it's got issues. Looks like a chip on the 5 and the letters B and E in the word "liberty" appear connected with another chip looking piece of copper. Both chips are raised. So I did have a very interesting coin day last Saturday.[/QUOTE]
