Is this a Toeprint on my '68-D Lincoln One Cent or a Toe Fungus error?

Is that yours?
It's beautiful.
I know it's only $1.77 per square foot but I imagine it's another 50c for epoxy.

Not going to happen.
Both the zinc and the state of Illinois would sue.
I think maybe the gov of Kentucky would sue but Moscow would not.

Most of my extended family is still there are they could not care less about the cent, let alone who is on it. However, they will come at you if you tried to put anyone else on the five dollars!  |

Good morning, Coin Community. First, let us not forget that currency collecting has been around for years; and it's made its name.
Topic: Removing physical penny/cent from circulating.
Issue: Costly, etc.
My thought: Lets first understand eliminating something physical coins from circulation and collecting currency are two different animals.
Question:
1. Can an idea of removing physical penny/cent from circulation affect coin collecting? NO.
2. What would happen to my rare, mint error penny/cent collection? It will become more valuable; and scarce.
3. Should I throw all my pennies away? NO. A copper penny is worth more than a penny.
Therefore, eliminating the cents from historical currency would not affect currency collecting, and the historical currency. Thank you.

Ok just read through the chat thus far. From a savings point of view this makes cents to stop the penny. But I'm a little surprised at the lack of appeal to keep the penny for numismatic purposes. They are so cheap it makes for a perfect entry point to coin collecting. So even if new penny are not minted. I hope they become NIFC mint sets, and that people can still get them at banks. Just thinking about all the possible errors and gems still in circulation waiting for one of us to save them.  Edited by JobIII

You will always see me championing the cent to remain in existence as NIFC—in bronze if possible. |

We need to lock this topic and shift the conversation to the newer one that presents this proposition as reality. http://goccf.com/t/476368 |
