Jewish-themed smashed pennies

[scarlettina]

DO, whom I met at the ANA show, asked me if I'd post pictures of my collection of Jewish-themed elongated coins. They're relatively hard to find and I always snatch them up when I find them. Anyway, no point in only one person seeing them, so I thought I'd post a link to the photo-set so that anyone interested might get to see them, too.

Ooh. I think I'd love to beg a set too. I have never been able to go (for all that I got to work on some of the stuff that went into it), and I'm sad it's closing.

scarlettina -- Shea Stadium/the Mets have changed their machine from the penny machine (the ones I gave you last year) to a nickel machine which costs a dollar per squash. I'll look and see if they're different designs -- would you still like a set? It is the last year for Shea, after all.

Absolutely! No question! That would be fabulous. Shall I PayPal you cash for the coins?

Heh -- if you could manage to get oldmangrumpus's friend to get an extra set for you at the Star Trek Experience, let's call it a trade. :)

Oh yeah -- are there any preferences as to the year of the nickel that gets squashed? (Or quarter, if I'm mistaken and it's a quarter smasher.)

I'll likely be doing a game next week. I'll do it then.

The only coins that the years really matter on are pennies. Nickels, dimes, quarters, it's not an issue, but I appreciate the thought! Do you need my address? Shall we take this to e-mail?

Got in touch with the friend directly and asked her myself. Will let you know what she says -- and yay trading! That's the way we real collectors do it. :-)
