RE: Hidden Treasures: The 1970-s Lincoln Penny?
Yeah.. oh I'll keep lookin!! Wouldn't mind finding the '82 Philly small copper, either! Like I said, I've got the Denver and the Philly Large dates in bronze, the latter is def Red, but it's maybe a MS66. But you're right--they're not really worth all that much; the bronze ones, that is.. I was all hyped when I found one--then another, then ANOTHER lol. Evidence, obviously, that they're not near as rare as I had expected!! (unfortunately) :( I think the nicest one of the lot, which also happens to be the most valuable, is my Philly '82 zinc Large Date. It's gotta be at least a 67... Which is only like $75 USD lol but hey, for spendin around 6-7 bucks or so (not to mention, it's fun!!), that's not too bad!!
On another note, you should totally do a post on your story about making that Nolan Ryan coin! I know some people would love it--it's got baseball and numismatism (is that the right word?? I can never get it right). Are you a big sports fan? I guess in 1992, Ryan was getting ready to retire from the Rangers soon--I guess they were doing it for that? How did you score the "gig," so to speak??
