What about error coins that used to be a coin with a bear/bears on them. I actually just found a 1 Krone with a bear but was struck as a 1 cent Lincoln shield penny
I started this thread more than four years ago and have acquired a lot of bear coins since. You can see them all here: https://coinswithbears.wordpress.com/portfolio/bear-coins/
Here are some of my Pandas. I like this coin because it gives us a new pic every year. I started collecting Koalas last year too but the stupid tariffs jacked the prices up. I think the Pandas went up the most. Does anyone have any idea when the tariff premium will go away? That would be nice. I have some visionary issues so I apologize for the font size.
It's been awhile since I updated this thread but I finally got around to acquiring another U.S. bear coin that I knew about but just wasn't prioritizing. 1935 San Diego half dollar.
