They came from the “back shelf” no doubt.
Some shelves are organized by way of the alphabet.
They were on the shelf labelled “V” since the reverse has the Roman number “V”.
That same shelf is used today for a hoard of a certain 1C minted in Philly in 2023…

It’s like the 5 1913 Liberty nickels. Where did those come from?

Hmmm, another dog reference?

“Oh, I got to go…one of my dogs needs a belly rub. Do that with a coin!”

LOL! Funny stuff.

Good post, Dave. I think the mint does a great job of producing coinage for all sorts of collectors, it’s just their pricing structure that has me on the sidelines these days. But as they say ‘nothing stays the same forever’. Bring back ‘value’ and sales will flourish.

Kaiser, just don’t bother sending it in to get graded as it’s probably already been (and failed to attain a 70). I don’t send coins for grading, but I would hate to receive a coin with an obvious flaw.
