What do you collect? Does anyone know anything about this coin?  email this discussion to a friend?

Everyone, well most everyone tends to have something they like to collect. It is interesting to here of all the different things people collect because you never know what strange things someone may collect. I do have several collections of things myself. The first thing I collect is music boxes. I love music boxes and the second is carousel horses. So I love to get the carousel music boxes, they are pretty and I love to watch them. Another thing I collect is wheatback pennies and foreign coins. Those probably aint worth much, but they are good for show and tell purposes.I have this one penny that is not a wheatback,but someone drew this mirror image on it and I am not sure where it came from, but thought it may be interesting for others to look at. And the other thing I collect is Thomas Kinkade items. I am not a fanatic, but I do enjoy his artwork and have several of his collections.One other thing I like is trains. I have never ridden on one, but I like the music box trains-watching those makes my eyes light up like a child. I was out doing some shopping the other day and came across one such item and I couldnt resist. I had to wind it up and watch it. Oh well, guess there is a part in all of us that will never grow up.


Strange penny from my personal collection

I too enjoy collecting coins. In particular US error coins. I cannot tell by the photo what you mean by mirror image but if you can elaborate on the year and Mint it came from, I might be able to find out if there were any odd or error coins made that year.

it is 1975 and Denver mint

Hello, the only info I found for a 1975 penny comes out of the Philly Mint.

It has a liberty bell above the liberty beside Lincoln's head and has an outline of the USA over the date 1975.

Not to say that the error doesn't exist. I suggest bringing it to a coin shop and ask an expert.

Kennedy-Lincoln coins were not minted by the government, but somebody added kennedy to the already minted pennies.

Here is the conclusion of the lawsuit:
Conclusion

Upon review of the Initial Decision in the light of the exceptions of the parties, I find as did the Chief Administrative Law Judge in the Initial Decision that Respondent is engaged in a scheme or device for obtaining money or property through the mail by means of materially false representations and that a remedial order should be issued against this Respondent pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 3005. Such an order is being issued contemporaneously with this decision.

I have a large collections of toys (Transformers; Zoids; Soul Of Chogokin (SOC); Gundams; Ikki Tousen; Please Teachers; Pia Carrot; Evangelion; G-taste;) But most of the gundams, pia, please, eva, ikki and G-taste are sold already due to money strain).
My mom has a small collection of Philippines coins. Not sure how many or how old they are but I know she has some in her collections.

Sorry to hear you had to give up collectibles due to a money strain. Most of us go through hard times at some points in our lives and I hope that one day you may be able to replace those with a new collection. Good Luck
