ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 03:47 am Today a couple of my younger customers brought me a pair of coins to check out, a Prez dollar and a 1972-S penny. The dollar looks A-okay to me, but something's off about the penny. I didn't have a loupe, etc. handy because, obvi, at work, but it feels too heavy and I just have this "off" feeling about it. Your opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

ninamason Pillar of the Community United States 1227 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 05:22 am John, you wound me! Pretty sure that was Moe's line, wasn't it? (My mama raised me right, thanks!) I tried to take a pic of the reverse, but that's with my crappy cell phone camera--super-blurry. Also not sure on measurements, but it was hard to hold in my hand, and that's a Prez dollar to the left of it, for scale. Also that calculator you can just see at the top of the screen is, I'm gonna guess 6" wide. Edited by ninamason 08/22/2012 05:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 07:21 am Used to be a lot of those for sale. I wonder what happened to them all. I used to have a lot of them and all different. One place used to sell them for $1 each. I think they were supposed to be drink coasters. I didn't know there were ones with other dates than the 09S VDB. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 09:31 am Yes, they were made to be drink coasters. I've talked to a member of my coin club who has a few, and he says he purchased them at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in central FL (although I'm sure they're available elssewhere) Report this Post to the Staff
CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 08/22/2012 10:01 am I believe it was an extreme broad-Collar error. Its worth whatever the first person who gets hit by it has on their person. Report this Post to the Staff
