  They used to give them out at all the coin shows. I got a bunch of them.

  I have 20 to 30 and usually get them from local shows plus I have some of the early ones that were confiscated by the Secret Service.

  If you don't limit it a little the things can take over.

  I've got a bunch also, from the San Francisco Coin Club. Do you want one?

  I have a bagful in my "box o' stuff", including a bunch of flat pieces -- roughly the size and thickness of paper money, but still labeled as wooden nickels. I keep hoping to find someone who cares.

  They give them out at coin shows, and I usually take one.. then lose it afte I get home... every once in a while one shows up in a sock drawer or the utensil drawer... or some such place... Cheers, RickO

  Have you got a Wooden Jefferson?

  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
