Some 1942 experimental cents were struck in various kinds of plastic. Here's an example....
As an outsider who never has or will want anything to do with gold coins, it seems logical that there's little correlation between spot price and...
It's entirely subjective, apparently. PCGS says "small, unobtrusive" ones are acceptable, "large, obvious, poorly placed or distracting" are not....
This topic came up on another forum a while back and I was surprised how many coins I had that are smaller than a US dime (17.9mm). I'd have to...

Looking forward to a report from Bozeman. I'll be there in May for my daughter's graduation (MSU) and might have some time to kill. I never...
