RIP Tony.
A class act!
I am not a fan of Bennett, he saw nothing wrong with the 911 event!
Can you provide documentation or other proof? Otherwise, I say BS.

We wear out. These wear down.
From the Howard Stern show interview:
“To start a war in Iraq was a tremendous, tremendous mistake internationally,” he said.
Stern then asked Bennett about how America should deal with terrorists, specifically those responsible for the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center.
“But who are the terrorists? Are we the terrorists or are they the terrorists? Two wrongs don’t make a right,” Bennett said.
In a soft-spoken voice, the singer disagreed with Stern’s premise that 9/11 terrorists’ actions led to U.S. military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“They flew the plane in, but we caused it,” Bennett responded. “Because we were bombing them and they told us to stop.”

Tony Bennett was born and grew up in Queens, New York.
Because of the San Francisco song many believe that he was from that city.

Don't know his political persuasion. I'm assuming he was a patriot. He served in the military during the war. Most of his generation did.
The year he was born.

I sold this "heart" to a collector in SF. Does that count?

About as early as you can go with S minted coins.
Now you're talkin', very nice! This coin has been on my short list for a while now. It's proving harder than I thought to find a nice eye appealing example. Yours is quite nice, is that a small clip on the edge?
Oh yeah and to keep with the theme of the thread here's another S mint. A $20 to go with Bill's $1...
Woah, Ricko. That’s a rare error. Both sides got struck sideways!!!

Rotated dies with the obverse and reverse dies having the same exact degree of rotation. What are the odds?

I believe Mr. Bennett was a huge fan of Vault Boxes.

I have posted this one before. It may be one of my favorite coins even if it's nowhere near my most expensive.

Tony Bennett did it his way. RIP
Just found this post on FB of Pat Boone and Tony......
Frank Sinatra, who we considered the best singer of all time, said that he believed Tony Bennett was the best singer in the entertainment business. You can’t get a higher accolade or commendation than that …from Frank Sinatra. Tony was a friend of mine. We worked out at the gym together and he told me how he vocalized 3 to 4 hours a day to keep his chops up, and boy did he! He was the champion! We’re sorry we won’t be hearing more from him, because he could still produce even at his latter age with Lady Gaga. -Pat Boone

Provocateur !
I heard of Tony's passing while performing last night.
Of course I played "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"
I have several personal stories of Tony I got to share.

I'd like to thank @habaraca for his private message (all caps) telling me to take a vacation for a few years.
Actually, one is +90 degrees and the other is -90 degrees. Does that make it more rare or more common?> @TwoSides2aCoin said:
It's just a joke. This thread was starting to look like a VB thread when an homage to Mr. Bennett turned immediately negative.
