Here is one simply titled "Boston", but which clearly shows the Zakim bridge:   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

@scopru, glad you liked that one 'cuz I've got several others, including this one of Paul Revere (on a 2000-P host):   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I picked these up on my visit to Tombstone last week. That machine used to be located at a tourist attraction on Toughnut Street but apparently has been removed from that site. May I ask where you came across it? Colligo ergo sum

The person named on this one is the proprietor of a coin shop in Tucson. He usually sets up at the Tucson Coin Club semiannual show which will be held this coming weekend. I'll have to take it with me when I go there to share with him the "rare" Lincoln Cent I found. I'll have to ask him what the process was for having the die made.  Colligo ergo sum

I think it was a shop or two down from ARLENES sitting just outside the doorway on the sidewalk. Then another couple stores down (I think on same side of street) there was another one with some different designs just inside the doorway. I was out of coins/cash and did not get the other 4 designs. Was the tourist attraction the little museum? That was a really neat walk through I think. I also went to 2 of the LCS in Tucson where I was staying. Wonderful town. Although the rain storm really did prove the drainage system there is not exactly good as my son said when I got there  Edited by scopru

I went to Eagle Eye and Old Pueblo. I am not sure I could have convinced my son to go to the other 7 or so in town. He hasn't gotten bit by the bug- yet. But I convinced him to go back to one and pick me out a coin for Christmas when he starts shopping.

Great coins everyone! I've just come back from two days in Paris. France has never been a great country for elongated coins: tourist attractions and collectors seem to prefer the large brass Jetons Touristiques (AKA Tourist Tokens) which are made by the Monnaie de Paris and sold for 2 euros from vending machines. Nevertheless I did manage to get this set of three from the Aquarium in Paris - all are pressed on 5-eurocent coins:  |
