Wow. Thats pretty steep.
I vote you the lifetime achivement winner. Wow!
Oh I wholeheartedly agree. A shiny cent is pretty to look at. Our numismatic ancestors had no compulsion at all shining up an old coin. What we...
Oh geez..... I made it through the first two pages before my Depends couldn’t hold anymore. Hilarious.
I much enjoy these pieces of Americana too. I found a smoothed large cent in my dealers junk box not long ago. I always figured it was an...

It is amazing to me the detail that exists considering a nickel planchet is a good deal thicker than a cent planchet. This is cool. Thanks for...
I am a terrible sufferer of the earworm disease. Last time I heard Nashville Cats from the Lovin Spoonful it was stuck for weeks...... Drats, now...
