Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/09/2011 3:01 pm I don't know how I found this, but it's weird. The seller also has a set of Cents up with the same type of treatment. Has anyone seen a coin like this before? I just found it kind of strange. Amy (my Wife) said it looks more like Ted Kennedy than John Kennedy. http://cgi.ebay.com/1971-KENNEDY-HA...832451069627 ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff

I would say the Kennedy is more common than older Liberty punch outs. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 06/09/2011 5:29 pm Thanks for the info and link, biokemist! I have a new word in my brain now though, so I'll have to forget an old one. I hope it's not my name. I didn't think it would be rare at all, just the first one I've seen. Amy likes it and I'd like to see the process. It seems that the clad layer would be too thin to take the amount of stretch. I looked as close as I could on the photo on ebay and I see what I think is copper on the sides. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!

I need a press with all the Presidents so I can start doing Presidential-Poppers! Wait do the whole Mint set in Pop Ups. Do you think the pressure will hurt the satin finish on the 2008 Mint Set? sigh Coins are a strange collectible. Amy found earrings last week that someone had taken a copper Cent and hammered out to the size of an egg. But they weren't a bit ugly. I thought it was just because they were brown so I cleaned them. That made them shiny red and ugly. Oh well, not everything works. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!
