I found this searching today. Amazing luster! Normally, of course, a 59 wouldn't be a big deal but this one gorgeous!
Yeah. Especially in the date. Amazing to find one that old with so much of its original luster. I'm guessing it's spent most of its life in someone's collection and then got spent.
So many people held rolls of 1958 and 1959 because of the change of design. I still have several of each. I put some back in circulation occasionally.
I have rolls myself and yet, I find it difficult to throw one like this back into circulation. I indeed have a problem.
I was thinking, "If it was only a year older!" LOL. A 59 with that much luster is still a nice find though. I've never found a Wheat in the wild with that much luster. Maybe someday...
