I wish the new log cabin penny was thinner, but otherwise it is a beautiful reproduction.

BTW: the "log cabin" pennies are awesome! Just got a few and I dig 'em.

Hi Everyone!
Interesting. Mine is different from all of the above. The date is 1990. At the top where IN GOD WE TRUST is, it says, "WE TRUST IN GOD". On the left, where LIBERTY is, it says, "FREEDOM". Flipping the coin over, we find instead of UNITED STATES of AMERICA, it's, "UNITED STATES". At the bottom where ONE CENT is, it says, "PENNY". And finally. above the Memorial, where E PLURBIS UNUM is, it says, "COPY". I've had this coin for years and my Johnson Expanded Dollar Shell fits it perfectly. I've only used it for the "Spellbound" effect, and it always gets great reactions. I wonder if any of you have seen or know about this coin. I'm not sure it's a Sudbury. Thanks! Doug |

Doug,
I bought a couple of the new log cabin pennies recently. Today I went to the Magicians round table here in Denver and asked if anyone had a sudbury penny. No one did, but one guy had the same coin you described. On his, the Lincoln head looked a little wierd, but it had all the other items you mentioned. The log cabin penny is great, except for the thickness. It seems to be twice as thick as it should be. It is pure copper and "face on" looks very real.

I got my original Sudbury penny from Paul Green in the mail today.
All I can say is that I'm extremely glad that these were available. It is just what I hoped it would be! Sammy

IS there any other information on these pennies? I am fascinated by them.

Got my first Lincoln Sudbury penny a few days ago and I love it! A few things:
It's a bit larger than a silver dollar. Maybe ~.5-1 mm, if I had to guess. I'm going to take it to the sharpening stone for a while to get it to the exact same size. Also, it was shiny as ever when I got it. No matter what I did, I could not get the copper to start tarnishing. I eventually took my 7 way nail buffer, and buffed part of it. Sure enough, it began tarnishing quickly after I did this. I realized that there must be some coating over the coin. It was probably wax. For a day or two it got quite tarnished but in the grooves where I couldn't get the buffer, there would be completely shiny areas, so I just scratched those areas as I saw them with something plastic (read: soft) and little scrapings of wax would come off. Now it looks great, like an old, dull penny! The other thing I noticed was at first the edges were almost sharp. Again I just used the nail buffer to smooth them out enough that I didn't have to worry about getting sliced. |

A true Sudbury penny will state Sudbury Canada on the tails side, below the Lincoln Memorial, and will probably be dated 1965.
Cablerock is correct that the Sudbury penny is slightly larger than a Morgan Silver Dollar. There are other dollar sized copper penny coins out there, but they aren't Sudbury pennies. Sammy

I got myself 3 sudbury Lincoln pennies and two Canadian ones. 3 have arrived so far, and only one (the first I got) is thinner than a Morgan by about 15% or so. The others are either the same thickness or a tiny bit thicker. They are all definitely the same thing, but it appears as though there are some differences in thickness on these as well. Good thing to note.

All of my sudbury pennies that I have gotten except one are thicker than a morgan dollar. One Lincoln penny is a bit thinner, and I love it so much!

Sorry to everybody who isn't me about constantly posting in this particular thread. I've fallen in love with these coins, and now own 2 Lincolns (lost one apparently) and 2 Canadian pennies. I have 2 more Canadian ones on the way and I JUST won a Silvertone canadian penny? Does anybody know about these? I figured I couldn't go wrong.
Here's a picture of the one I just won of ebay: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDU1WDEwMzI=/$......0_58.JPG |

It's possible that the silvertone one may be aluminum.
