[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7878856, member: 10461"]With only 30 known, it is the rarest LordM swag currently available on the market, so to speak. I only know the whereabouts of perhaps [I]one[/I] of the early-2000s-vintage laser-etched woodies (of which 10 were made). The person who has that also has the two unique die trial elongates on Zincoln and clad Roosie host coins. I was not planning on doing a 2021 issue, but this thread has inspired me. Made a call to my dealer friend in NC ([USER=81808]@Aethelred[/USER]), who has the only complete collection of LordM swag. (Or [I]nearly[/I] complete- I don’t think even he has the Type 4 2020 cent, come to think of it.) Anyway, I just called him about acquiring host coins for a 2021 batch. Depending on supplies available, the following types are being discussed, in order of preference: [LIST] [*]Silver British sixpence (George VI, 1937-1952) [*]Bronze British “Wren” farthings, ditto [*]Silver Canadian “Schooner” dimes (George VI & QE2, 1937-1968) [*]Silver Roosevelt dimes (1946-1964, if the World coin types don’t pan out) [/LIST] Then maybe host coins sent off to Cindy Calhoun by the end of the month, to possibly have them elongated in time for Christmas. [I]Maybe[/I]. The 2021 issue would have the same design with rope-style border as the 2019 issues (Type 1 & 2), but will likely be undated. It’s just too expensive in time and costs to have new dated dies made every year, much as I liked having my 2019 and 2020 issues dated. I might do a holed issue like the 2019 Type 1A variant. (Speaking of which, [USER=114169]@ZoidMeister[/USER] - I see your Type 1 is a 1B- the [I]non[/I]-holed variant. Do you have a holey one, too? If not, I shall have to fix that- and find you some of the old pre-2008 woodies.)[/QUOTE]
