<p>[QUOTE="dayriser, post: 761437, member: 21610"]Among other things, the Edsel was just ugly... The grill looked like someone's puckered mouth after sucking on a lemon (i've heard that is where the term 'lemon' in reference to a problem vehicle comes from, though I don't know if that is true)... It was also a mechanical failure in many ways... So to me I think more of the pennies that I so love... Try and find me a decent strike from after 1983... I can spot a '91 or '98 from across the room from just the light strike or off-center strike, or the planchet showing around the numbers... I would trade you five '91's for a '68, '72, or '82 any day of the week <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ... I have countless pennies from '90 to 2007 with such poor quality strikes that I just wish they would quit minting the penny and get me some decent looking nickels instead... Not to mention the gov't spends more to make a penny than each is worth... A true EDSEL! ... </p><p> </p><p>B[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
