Also consider that, as far as I know, no one in US numismatics history has ever cared about the "last" coin minted.
Actually in another article Kwik Trip says $3M. This is a pretty good summary of all the issues....
They were concerned enough to mention it in a news article. These corporations know how to count their pennies. That's $2M straight out of their...
As I've posted several times already, rounding in favor of the customer does add up for a large convenience store chain like Kwik Trip. In a...
Somewhere out there is the actual last made for circulation Lincoln cent. Unless the mint pulls another rabbit out of their hat, forever unknown.
Very strong Blakesley effect. I had no idea that a clip could be that ragged! Nice find.
That was fast! It wasn't supposed to arrive until Monday. Kudos to USPS for a change. The cover is creased but yeah, I didn't use it much other...

I received that email too and this part was perplexing: "The first event under the new ownership will be a smaller and more intimate...
On the rounding thing, I'll point out that due to a lack of clear guidance from the government, some retailers like Quik Trip have implemented a...
@samclemens3991 The reverse design was adapted from Longacre's Seated Liberty dime reverse but it is not the same. As I mentioned in the other...
You hit the proverbial nail on the head. Not only that, but they made a big splash about how special the last 5 were going to be, $2-5 million...
Theres 232 sets of them now.
Found it. It was the December 2024 auction of the 230 Flowing Hair anniversary coins with the super special privy mark. The first coin struck...
I wish I could remember what coin Stack's did this with a few months ago. I think the cancelled dies were also in the last lot? Or something...
