  I have seen numerous potty dollars, some potty half dollars, a few potty quarters, and even a potty twenty cent piece, but in all my years of collecting and studying half dimes (and related exonumia), I have never seen a potty half dime. May I assume that you have not either, or do you have one to show us?

  Crude ... but gives the general idea.
  
  
  I have never seen a potty half dime. That seems like a mighty small canvas.

  No, unfortunately I don't have one. I have never even seen one, even thought I assume they exist. I have only ever seen one "Potty" Twenty Cent piece.
  HERE I have a "potty" Dime, Quarter, and Trade Dollar. I hope to eventually add the others to my collection.

  Astrorat, you beat me to the post of your Twenty Center. Yes, crude, but rare and I like it.

  I personally never saw a potty half dime. Only ever sold one twenty center.

  It's amazing what passed for humor in the 1800's.

  Do the folks that collect potty dollars also collect those large cents with the spelling of CENT changed by re-engraving the E?

  I do, along with other engraved exonumia, i. e. Love Tokens, Hobo Nickels, coins engraved with The Lord's Prayer, etc., etc.

  Can't remember the image. Was sold to Les Burzinski(sp?) up in Wisconsin. Was there a catalogue of his collection when it was sold?
