    I'm just lovin' the fact that he left a modern coin for you. I wasn't sure you'd ever seen one.

    Bingo!

    Finding decent examples of this is tough. This one appears Gem except for the spotting.

    Let me try again.

    The Cigar box was made in Vermont making this coin a Vermont Copper (Ninc) Lincoln?

    There's a big hit above Abe's eye. Not sure it deserves 65.

    D'oh. I didn't even notice it. It is gemmy and vaguely PL still.

    Maybe it's not a hit but something else?

    Well I'd hate for the Zincoln to dissolve before we get an answer...or else this point will be moot.

    There also looks to be some surface damage above ONE on the reverse.

    Just 1 out of 7,752,355,000

    Can that be right? 7.7 billion minted?

    Probably only a couple billion survive and every day more than a million more are destroyed.

    These were set aside in substantial quantities so they'll never be rare but finding well struck
    and pristine pieces is something of a rarity.

    Zinc is a terrible metal to make coins since it is toxic and highly reactive. We spend three cents
    to make a "coin" that has no value and makes us poorer every time it is used. Then we have to
    make the same coin over and over again because they are disposable and so worthless that
    they spend more time in a drawer than making change. I guess waste caused by making coins
    isn't as hazardous to creating global warming as waste generated by having jobs in America.

    I wonder if someone was drinking when they posted this thread and then forgot about it later?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Looks like it acquired a smokey copper tone in that box.
