Cool! How often does that happen? Hasn’t been in circ long by the looks of it.

Never happened to me before in my life. That coin is almost 50 years old either someone spent their collection as real money (doubtful) or maybe a kid robbed his parents collection. That coin was in an air tight container for 46 years and only recently has seen circulation.

Makes me a little sad to think that people might be having to spend their coin collections; tough times. Let's hope it's like you suspect: that a kid didn't know what he was doing when he took it from dad/mom.

I agree, some kid got into his parents collection

Lol Do kids even know what coins are, let alone the value? Just wondering.
