All the coins in my shop, The Penny Store, are certified circulated; what that means is that they are absolutely guaranteed to be used business-strike coins that have been lifted out of circulation, where they’ve been since they were minted or shortly thereafter. I say “shortly thereafter” because they are beautiful. Some are bright and shiny, as if they’d just popped out of the mint machine. Others are amber, honey, mahogany and drenched with an unusual and hard-to-find eye-pleasing inner glow and natural patination. Still others have something weird going on with them, or they’re victims of Mint Error, which generally translates into market value and desirability. In any case, each and every one of these coins will make you stop and stare and wonder “How in the world did you get here?”
