Sure! Just like the "Rule of Thumb" is rooted in historical fact, there is
the "Famous 2-Cent Piece." They only minted one run of these babies, so
I'm not selling them cheap. I think $100 apiece (did I mention how rare
these were?) seems fair.

They have always been rare, thus when anyone ever says, "just my $.02
worth" they are seriously undervaluing their own opinions.

The really amazing thing, is that these coins look just like nickels that
somebody took a pliers to. Stunning. I have a limited supply, but I
might be able to dig up enough to satisfy all possible buyers.

Small, unmarked bills are appreciated.

ObHelpful: No, I have no idea if they ever made others, but the
opportunity was too good to pass up.

Query: Is/has the Canadian $1 coin met with general approval? It's a
neat gold coin, impossible to mix up with a quarter (unlike a certain
U.S. $1 coin.) Yes, I know this is off-topic. Please respond via e-mail.
