I stopped in a little grocery store off the Delmont Exit of the PA turnpike. I bought a bag of potatoes, a jar of honey, and took two pictures of this penny art. This was the first one I saw.

    Cool! As I look at this I'm thinking of different ways to do it. Maybe make the Zincolns would stay shinier longer and use copper for the portrait? Hmmmmm......

    If you take a closer look, there are some bright green cents at the edge of the portrait.

    Good catch. I think my eye ignored that as a reflection.

    I can see something like that being featured on "Antiques Roadshow" at some time in the future. I'd call it a form of folk art.

    All glory is fleeting.

    I might be wrong, but the coins with the green maybe coming from oxidation from the sled and electrical on the other side adjacent
