Get your Penny stamp !


Every time I post a picture of a stamped penny I get hundreds of likes and many requests for pennies and questions about where to buy a stamp.
The original supplier has been out of stock for years.
But someone located a new supplier, to contact them  click Here !

No automatic alt text available.

I've just ordered a back up stamp in case mine wears out !

Good Luck Folks !

Dave Tatum

UPDATE !

Since I made this post yesterday the Ad for the stamp has been removed.

I did order one and got shipping confirmation !

I don't know what to tell ya folks.

I'll keep you posted !

UPDATE  II

I got several messages on Face Book from people who successfully ordered the stamps.

I guess the supplier is out of stock !

Pennies !



Over time I've found out that stamping pennies with the CBF gets one of two reactions.

People love it or hate it !



People that love it often ask for one and I'll send them one.

People that hate it accuse me of criminal activity !

One hater / Valentine Leiker / went off on me on Face Book -

David Tatum; Run away, run away. It is against the law to deface United States coins, section 331 of title 18. There are criminal penalties.

Well he edited his comment, it actually reads --

Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who ‘fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States.

 This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent. (Source U.S. Mint)

So Mr Valentine tough crunchies no fraudulent intent on my part.
( And Monica would like her Beret back !)

I got Busted !


Well at work the other day my company's VP showed up.

He was doing a security audit.

He checks documentation,  uniforms and a few other things.

I had a violation. The buttons on my windbreaker were not regulation !


I've had them on for 5 years or so and finally got busted !


He called me aside and asked me about the buttons.
 I told him I had two ancestors who were members of the Richmond Howitzers.

I was expecting a uniform violation write up !

He told me that his GG Grandfather also fought for Virginia and was killed in Pickett's charge.

Well the buttons are still on and I did not get a write up !

God Bless Dixie !
