When I was in kindergarten, I felt a need to be different. Teacher asked everyone what they wanted to be when we grow up; after all the policemen, firemen, and ballerina answers, I responded, "A daddy who can drive a car." When asked about our favorite animals, the cats and dogs were winning, but I said "I love pigs!" You get the gist. I am not sure how I came to like pigs, but I did. Fast forward a year and my grade one teacher took us to see Charlotte's Web. To my surprise the real hero of the movie was a pig! I lost my mind! Best. Movie. Ever! So, liking pigs was my thing. I have built a sizeable collection of pigs (porcelain, stuffed, etc.) that my grandmother, mother, and a few friends have given me over the past fifty or so years. Back when wearing gold chains was a thing, I had a pig charm necklace. (I still have it, but never wear it now). So there you have it. Pigs are cool. |

Nothing quite like some good bacon Earle. Love the story JBuck. Something I've come to appreciate over the years and I've tried to instill in my two boys is that being different is cool. Thanks E&V. |

This one is weird. There is an ebay seller named quadrapaul who makes these Lincoln cents with the transfer image stamp made from another coin. These aren't 'vise jobs'. The transferred image is convex. It seems that the coin is forced through a roller to transfer the image much the same way as the Adam J. Cool coins are. Here is one I purchased because it was unique even by his standards...   I'm not sure what coin this image came from but I'm pretty sure it's a depiction of Lady Liberty on a U.S. coin. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 |

Very interesting piece for sure. I like how you can see the ONE CENT remnants on it as well.
