Pennies everywhere!!!

[robert roy]

I just heard that back in 1976 the Gov put out a stamped penny for each state.
I had never heard of them before. Never seen one either. I even took out all
the old pennies I have and looked just in case. I would think that if they had been
in circulation I would have seen one. Fact or Fiction.

Fact. I just saw an entire collection of them at Ebay $15.00

Has anyone ever seen these before?

You might want to take a look at this. It sounds like another company put them out.
Clayton Inc.

Saw one on Ebay that sold for $9.95. There is one up now for $5.

Robert R[/quote]I don't think the goverment punches coins like that. I'd have to go with outsource and another company selling them.

[size=medium]I've seen something like that before, my parents have on their fridge, but theirs has a heart by Lincolns head, and it was made into a fridge magnet (glue a magnet on the back and sold for $3. Nah, the Gov. didn't make them, some company with a press and diffrent punches, tryin to make a few bucks off of some pennies. LOL[/size]
