STUPID BOWL

In order to make this reply in keeping with the numismatic subject, I'd like to say that the last playoff game that I saw that went into overtime, they showed a close-up of the coin being flipped and it was a Morgan! It looked pretty well-worn. I don't know the date because it landed on tails

That said, I can also make my second comment which is that I agree with Catman. But only because the Steelers aren't in it this year

Any answer on who received the official coin?

Yeh I am still waiting to hear back from the sportwriter of the Detroit Free Press. I might try another writer as Mitch Albom is a pretty busy guy.

If I hear anything, I will post the answer.

I found it funny the coin shows "REVERSE" and "FRONT"
obvious not listed by someone who knows coins
a front & back or obverse & reverse-
