  very cool Marty
  
  I just wonder where these guys come up with these things. Do mint employees sneak them out ? What gives ? Please explain !

  There's a story behind these. The mint sold a gazillion pieces of steel planchet webbing as scrap. As I recall (and I'm definitely fuzzy here), they were destined to become reinforcement in concrete. Or something like that. Perhaps one of the error experts can fill in the real details.
  
  It's definitely a nifty thing. I have one also.

  They didn't have any that weren't covered in rust?

  The real question here is how does the Mad One constantly find the awesome numismatic oddities? It wasn't long ago that I found myself ooohing and aahhing over a box full of print blocks used to make an old redbook in his posession. However you do it Marty, keep up the awesome work.

  It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!
