It's a KM# Pr185 Copper-Nickel, with a mintage of 51,000. There is a Nickel only version with a mintage of 500. The values listed are 12.50 and 20.00 respectively.
I've been looking for this for awhile, I think it was a picture of Jester's that I saw first. Of course I wanted one immediately, and it has taken several months to get one. The vagaries of ebay though, there are now about 4 more listed. I may go back and get more for some of my co-workers.
Basically it is a bit of a spoof on all the guys here who like their "BBLs", but I'm thinking of setting up a display at work and trying for a tax deduction.
Not really, but it sounds good-- like I'm making an investment and not just spending money for fun.
Beautiful coin, Stork! I can't take credit for showing it to you, however. I forgot who did.
