From the way the design sinks into the fields -- look especially at the details where Liberty's left meets the right obverse field -- I'd assume...
There's one in-hand roll currently listed on eBay, asking $299. And one single coin in-hand, asking $19.99 plus $5 shipping. If it were me, I'd...
Well, the second one wouldn't get any offers, because he didn't enable Best Offer. That I can't understand, especially after it's been sitting for...

2.5 grams is exactly what a copper-coated zinc Lincoln cent should weigh.
They might think acetone is dangerous, or that they'd do it wrong and mess things up.
Or better yet, stick with allegorical representations of Liberty.
Well, I'm kind of torn, because I don't want people to forget the horrific things that were still taken for granted years after slavery was...
