These are fresh out of a OBW roll. I've got 4 of the 1st stage/die crack. And 5 of the 2nd stage/mustache.

Anyone know if there's any interest in things like this?

Thanks.

After looking at these closer, they are infact 2 different dies. Each has a unique die crack in the upper back half of the hair.

I admit my embarrassment in admitting this, but...

Am I the only one who thinks the larger chip makes poor FDR look more like Adolf Hitler?

He'd just need to be a little bit balder.


And for those of you who see it as well, how ironic is that? :-)


It may be worth a premium for novelty alone.

I agree with the Hitler appearance, especially I'm the second photo.

Probably the die chip coin would be a hit on ebay. LOL

Ya, I saw the "Hitler" straight off but didn't want to come right out and say it ;). When I was a kid in 60's-70's and just started collecting I remember hearing about a Hitler dime and how some people were upset about it, but had forgotten about until now.

It looks like someone just put one up on the Bay, it's hard to tell from the pictures they posted. I pm'd them to see if it's like these.
