<p>[QUOTE="dayriser, post: 761293, member: 21610"]Well, I don't have anything as interesting as the u vs. e variety, but just this month in 2 different boxes of pennies I found a penny with a perfect little heart pressed into it with a little 'i love you' inside of it... Gave it to my wife... Then I found a penny with the state of maryland neatly pressed into it, with a little 'md' inside of it... I wondered first how groups get away with the defacing of the money, and second, what process they use to accomplish it... The little heart looks like it was beat into the coin with brute force while the coin was lying on a sidewalk or some such, as evidenced by the damage to the reverse... The 'md' coin on the other hand is neatly pressed into the obverse with no damage to the clad layer, and zero evidence on the reverse of any damage... quite impressively done, i must say...</p><p> </p><p>Anyway, the 'i love you' stays with my wife, I am afraid, but the maryland is available for your junk collection if you are so inclined to want it... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p> </p><p>B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
