2010 Lincoln Cents
Chuck Miller
there. I bought $10.00 worth and they gave me one of the older boxes they
store them in.
Bringing them home on the Plane was more fun--my wife's carry on was lighter
than mine so I stashed them way at the bottom and the TSA guy had to search
through the whole bag. She was not pleased! She also had an old cow bell in
there that also raised a flag.
All in all it was a great coin trip. I picked up some great war nicks MS65 &
66 with full steps at a coin shop there.

Speaking of war nicks, I got a 1943-P in change last week. Not bad!
Last war nick in change was about 10 years ago.

I was going to say, back in the 50s (when I was a single-digiter) I
remember receiving coins from Jud's list plus IHCs, buffalo nickels, a
single flying eagle cent in about 1957/8 or so (this 5/6 y/o thought
it was a fake back then), and even the occasional worn slick Barber.
If I'd only known then what I know now.

Very frankly, I can't begin on that one - from a certain standpoint, I
would be better off if I had simpy kept every U.S. 90% silver coin
that passed through my hands. Yes, I usually traded that junk U.S.
silver for some better numismatic coins that brought (and still bring)
great pride of ownership. But with common U.S. silver coin at 12
times face or more...
It boggles the mind how little one paper dollar buys today.

I have a simple 'geezer' test. Only one question.
1) Have you ever spent a silver dollar for face value?
I have, and therefore I am.

At a softball tournament in Niagara Falls, Ont this weekend, the first
Canadian cent I got in change was a 2010. The second was a 2009. I have
yet to see either date Lincoln in change in the States.

2010 cents are very very common here in the Springpatch/ Peoria/
Chambana triangle. There is no reason to save them to the same degree
as the 2009 cents, since they're going to be made all year in the same
design.

Speaking of the TSA, I must tell this story.
In April, at a retail souvenir shop catty-corner from the British
Museum, I bought two small plaster reproductions of two scenes from
the Elgin Marbles/ Parthenon frieze. Plasters, say 10 inches by 2 and
1/4 inches and perhaps 3/8 inch thick. The young lady shop-walker
wrapped them up for me in bubble wrap very nicely and securely. I
stowed them in a special suitcase that I bought while in London, soley
for the purpose of transporting only souvenirs and books.
Of all the things that our fine TSA persons had to unwrap and damage,
one of the plasters was their choice.
What the hell did they think it was? Plastique explosives???
Jeez, what poltroons.

Here we are, almost half past 2010, and the only coins from 2009 and
2010 that I have found in circulation so far are one Guam quarter and
one Virgin Islands quarter. The only coins available from the bank
have been the Presidential dollars, and in whatever quantity you want.
I have however gotten 3 wheat cents and a silver war nickel in change
in the last week.

I bought 25 of them at the bank at $1.00 each for my in-laws 25th
wedding anniversary so I guess that is close to the same as spending them.

PS my mother in law is still alive and kicking. In fact she is driving
to our house in a couple of hours.

To which I now reply:
Oh, YES! Back in the 50s, Grandma Dennis used to give us
grandsons
Morgans and Peace Dollars when we went to visit, and we couldn't
wait to
run to the mom & pop five and dime store down the block to spend
them.
Not just once, but many times.

I have progressed from geezer to codger myself. Soon I hope to become
a 'curmudgeon'.
