i guess she didn't need her $1200....

 

Probably me..... coming soon

 

I'm in NYC.. Searching with no luck finding one

We had a thread about this Cent a few weeks ago.

 

Thats gonna lead to a frenzy.

 

AT LEAST IT WAS A CENT.... Zincoln

 

The artist said she hoped they circulate for a long time. Unfortunately, the engraving most likely cut through the copper plating and into the zinc core. I would expect many to develop zinc rot and become unreadable fairly quickly.

Oh, all those artistic dreams and good intentions, crushed by the reality of a poorly designed product

@paddyman98 better find one quick before they turn into a corroded mess like your metal detecting finds

 

He needs Renaissance Wax for his Relics ( AKA junk ) . lol

 

I don't know, probably quite awhile, but I'll be keeping my eyes open for one!

 

I thought there was a law against spending defaced coinage, and was getting ready to sarcastically congratulate the artist on such a feat. Glad I did some quick research first. According to the FAQ page at the US Treasury’s website, the delineator is fraudulent intent.
From the article, there appears to be none, so I guess the artist should be ok from a legal standpoint. However as Oldhoopster mentioned, decay will likely set in rapidly as they circulate.
They don’t weld pieces of zinc to ocean-going vessels for its durability characteristics.

 

Not only did she not need the $1200, she probably spent more than $1200 to have someone impress that onto the round edges of 120,000 copper-plated zinc discs.

 

I'm only 2 hours away from Brooklyn

 

And you wondered what next?

 

In 40 years, odds are better of finding a cent with Lincoln smoking a pipe from the 1970s, since these will have disintegrated from the copper layer being breached.

 

She's an artist, maybe she couldn't afford a 120,000 pre '82's. In any event, for arts sake and the meaning behind them, I will be looking for one.

 

Yep, mine.
