I was born today in 1967, in Maryland, where I still live. Anyone got any pics of nice 1967's, MD Commems, MD Quarters, or anything else related to show? 
Enough about me. Here's some info that's actually interesting about today borrowed from great "The Week That Was" column in Coin World by Fred Reed.
April 28th
1788, State of Maryland admitted to the union
1863, Moses G. Farmer patents alloy of copper and aluminum as a substitute for gold in coinage
1933, Senate confirms Nellie Taylor Ross as Mint director
1939, Universal Pictures releases "For Love or Money" (anybody see this? not me.)
1969, Series 651 military payment certificates issued
1993, Walter Breen dies (sorry to end it on a sad note
)
Hope everyone enjoys today regardless of occasion!

There is but one single doubled die obverse known for 1967 cents, and it's in LIBERTY on an SMS issue. Light doubling shows on the LIB part of LIBERTY. I don't have one of them, thus do not have any 1967 cents to share. Happy birthday anyway.

Happy B-Day Xbob!!!
I'll get Quincy to "sing" happy birthday to you tonight when I get home. His younger brother is only one and doesn't sing well yet.
