Rail Splitter Penny !

 I've been Counter striking pennies for years !


Despite what a few claim it's not illegal !

As a matter of policy, the Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent. ... Stamping words or letters on a coin is perfectly legal.

I just got a roll of Lincoln Rail Splitter pennies.






The results are better than I had hoped for !



I decided to put out a limited edition (50 )

I'm selling them on E-Bay !




Look under "Confederate Coins"

It's a win Win situation -

If it makes you mad - I WIN !

If it makes you Happy - I WIN !
