    There were Barber quarters in promo slabs last year.

    In 2014 at Winter FUN they gave out 1914 Lincoln 1c coins. I have two of them since my boy was with me as my guest.

    I think the oldest both in a sample or Luncheon slab is the Liberty 5c.

    If anyone has an older Lib 5c in a sample or Barber in a Luncheon slab, sure would like to see it. image

    The Barber 25c I had (and sold) was dated 1914, but I think there were assorted dates distributed.

    You could be right. Here's a 1901 and a 1911 I found on Cameron's SampleSlabs.com site:

    Read in Schwagers book that the earliest Buff 5c is a 1913 Ty1 - I saw it go for a lot of money on ebay and didn't put 2 and 2 together until reading his book.



    It was totally overlooked by most of us.
