-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8782 Posts	Posted 01/28/2025 5:51 pm I went through a phase where I was really into these. Even though there were a pile of them minted and not rare, I just thought they were cool, where they were a one-off date made totally different than any other cent. It was a fun learning experience for me. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
