| I like mine also. I think they are the hidden gem of the class of 2009. I just cannot male myself buy the 2009 uncirculated sets. I have the proof sets, several Lincoln Silver dollars, a Chronicles set, now some proof 09 cents. I'd still like to get an 09 dime & nickel & Sac. dollar not in a proof set, but I won't pay extra for them! Just not worth it, IMHO. |

| As with the millions of people that buy them, they will be looked at, admired, talked about for a long time. Then put away somewhere and forgotten. Happens all the time with everything. Remember the Beanie Babies? |

Yeah, but I don't recall a beanie baby made to look like Lincoln though. There is something about Lincoln - he'll be remembered for a long time! What did I hear about him, that the only person who has more written about him in the world is Jesus? I believe it! Now where are those Jesus coins????  Just kidding! No offense! |

Haha, I just found one. 2006 Cape Verde 25 Escudos. I was looking at the 21st century Krause book at Canadian coins, and the next listing after that was Cape Verde. I wonder what original picture they used of Jesus to make the engraving? :) |

Well done, uthminsta. Now, a picture of the coin???? Or a link???
Also, reminds me of that saying "you know who" said in the Bible when asked about the Roman coins, "Render unto Caesar . . ." So would one render those coins "unto" a church then????? And just in time for Christmas, no less! (Sorry for the off-topic and wandering discussion! It is late in the day for me!) |

Here He is!
The coin is .9999 fine, but Jesus was purer than that. Sorry for the lame joke. Moving on...
