Mint coin

[lineop3]

This was found in one of my rolls...a treasury coin. It's kinda neat.
Have you ever seen one?

Hi Aisha,
Yep, I have at least one roll of each of them. I think they are fun to have, and have tried to give them to the grandkids as pennies, but so far they have been smart enough not to accept them. Oh well, if you can't fool the grandkids there is little hope you can fool the other members of the community.

Don't know about that Jean. The little critters are pretty smart and sometimes more attentive to that kind of detail.

Those are cool... If you turn them in to the mint do you get a billion dollar prize... LOL!!!

[Cdiddle]

I had never seen one before. What are they for? Why did the mint make them? Sorry for all the questions. I really like them. Thank you.

Mint tokens

Here are a few more mint tokens, mint packaging, and tokens still in mint sets.
There are metallic coated paper, plastic and metal tokens in some mint sets.
I do not know for certain why they included them except perhaps it was to fill an empty slot in the packaging.
The one metal token in the bottom left corner of the first picture is a very nice Proof set metal token, as is the bottom center coin in the last picture.
These were not found in rolls of coins, and I keep all I find.
Cindy, if you would like one each of the Lincoln sized copper tokens just pm me with your address and I will be happy to share with you.

Oh Jean, you are a doll for the offer but you keep those in your collection. Everything is going to paper and plastic so the copper will be very collectible in time I'm sure. Those are really awsome and would make a great collection all on their own I would think. Again, thank you and I'm sending you internet huggs.....() () ().

I have some from the Denver Mint and they are interesting. I have extra if anyone needs one or two.

Believe me Cindy, I do have at least a roll each of the ones in Aisha's picture and will be happy to share, and you needn't be bashful about it.
Thanks for the hugs!

Pretty amazing to find one in regular bank rolls! I've searched a helluv a lot of rolls and never found one.

[jfines69]

Those are all awesome... I hope to find some of those!!!

HUGH Thank you to Jean


Jean thank you so much! Jean sent me a P and D mint coin and the are beautiful. This may sound stupid but this has started a new collection for me. Wouldn't it be something to find a doubled die on a mint coin? Wonder if anyone ever checks them?
Again Jean, thank you so much.
