Are there any coins with lobsters on them?

I can't think of any, even the Maine state quarter doesn't have one.

    Nope. Just a moose and a pine tree.

    Well why not? Just about every question imagineable has already been asked, and now I see a coin with a lobster on it. No different than show me a coin with a horse or other animal.

    No...but I have seen a lobster with a coin on it...
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    Yes. And it's $4.99 a pound here. I bought a 5.5 pounder the other day for about $27. Got some nice lobster rolls out of that guy. image

    Your pronunciation is all wrong. As any Mainer can tell you, it is not 'lobster' - it is 'lobstah'. Ayuh.

    That might be a shrimp.

    Which are crustaceans too.




    Alright, whose got a coin with a pill bug (rolly polly) on it?

    First one with that coin gets a giveaway from me (and I don't usually do giveaways)...

    I think the coin was from Peru and that is what they call lobsters in Peru.

    Just toss a couple of Maine quarters into the pot for good luck, though it won't bring any luck for the lobsters.

    Very creative Denver Dave.

    A little disturbing, but cool nonetheless.
