Very awesome!
Pssst...It's 1776-1976. (And I should talk after my boo boo a couple days ago););):confused:.
I have yet to see this type of profile doubling on wheat cents but have seen plenty from 1959 to 1964 . Not a doubled die though, sorry to say.

Always wanted to take a ride in and have my pic taken in that baby. Sounds goofy but oh so cool.
So sorry everyone. I am obviously wrong and have pie in my face. I jumped on this one much too quickly. I do know what a clip is and words came...
I am looking into your option 2 also. Going through all my Krause catalogs shows a world of possibilities. Former Russian states is interesting...

Ahhh, but they had tea strainers. Here's an interesting article. History of the Tea Strainer (teamuse.com)
