(michael jackson half dollar) http://cgi.ebay.com/MICHAEL-JACKSON-..._US_Individual Seriously? Did they print that right over Kennedy's face or what? Yeh, the guy was a cultural icon, but printing his image on a coin and selling it for profit? uggg   07-03-2009, 02:55 PM   #2 (permalink) clembo A closed mind is no mind     Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Southern tip of that big pond known as Lake Michigan. Posts: 5,747 Well it seems the seller sells a lot of garbage and refers to it as collectables.

Gross YES! I agree with you, really bad taste. Hey now that this is made, where's my OJ nickel, John Wayne Gacey Dime, John Wilkes Booth Penny, and my Jeffrey Dahmer Quarter? I can see it now, lets celebrate disgusting people, forget about people that deserve a place in history on our curency, lets give it to the scum of the earth.   07-04-2009, 07:06 AM   #10 (permalink) bama guy Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: southern alabama Posts: 972 My Mood: I wished Michael could rest in peace but that does not look that is going to happen anytime soon. Michael was very talented man who, like many other entertainers , had problems dealing with this lifestyle. I can not even begin to imagine what it is like. I have a question. Can people just slap a picture of a person on a coin and sell these without permission of that person or the estate?   07-04-2009, 08:30 AM   #11 (permalink) troublesbrewin Senior Member   Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 141 My Mood: Those idiots just stick a thin piece of plastic to the Kennedy Half just like they did with the Obama coins. Don't even look at it or some poor soul will waste his/her money on it. You know the old saying...."a fool and his money are soon parted."   07-04-2009, 08:38 AM   #12 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,305 My Mood: Just more garbage like the OBAMA coins, and I guarantee these will be on TV, can't wait till' HSN has em'! What everybody needs to understand is this, we can say he was a good entertainer, and he was, well he wasn't just good, HE WAS AMAZING, but as a person, he was trash. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 09:28 AM   #13 (permalink) grizz numismatist     Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: aliquippa, pennsylvania Posts: 1,321 ......how 'bout this one.
