    Thanks Mike, I think Ebay must have deleted my response to you yesterday probably because I included my email. Yes you have my permission to use my name and photos.
    I was a general manager at a local restaurant in the 90's when I found that penny My dad had collected coins so it was a natural reaction to collect something interesting when I saw it. Wheat pennies, Buffalo nickels, mercury dimes, and an 1890 Indian head penny were always catching my eye and an opportunity to swap out spare change in my pocket for something more interesting. This penny came from a new roll that had come from the local bank which was part of our change fund. Most of the other coins I found in the cash drawer that customers had used to pay for meals. I've had that penny for at least 20 years. The second penny I posted a picture of either came from the same roll or I found it around the same time. That one's date is 1995 so I had to have found them that year or 1996. I put them in a small plastic bag and set them aside with the other coins I have collected. I remember finding a blank planchet at the same time but I have not been able to locate it. My memory says that I found all three in the same roll but I didn't document anything because I had no idea what I had found. I'm sure that would make for a more interesting story but I can't be 100%. I do know I found them close to the same time. Recently I was looking at my collection and decided that it needed to be in the hands of someone who could appreciate it more than myself.
    I would really like to see a copy of the column when you write it up, I will PM you my email.

    The article that features the brockage from the folded die cap can now be seen in the latest issue of Coin World. I've sent you a copy, Jeff.
