 2005 Double Die Lincoln Cent Greater Houston Coin Club Show Houston, Texas proposed design: Edwin Johnston |
| I made the graphic file above as a proposed design for
the
Gallery Mint Museum 2005 mobile mint token obverse and emailed it in at
the end of September 2004. My suggestion was that since their first
show of the coming year was the 50th anniversary of the Greater Houston Coin
Club
(of which I'm a member, and a club whose logo is the 1955 Double Die
Lincoln Cent), that GMM could design a "2005 Double Die Lincoln Cent"
to commemorate the 50th anniversaries of both the club and that widely
popular minting error, and that the obverse could serve to be a common
one for show tokens throughout the year 2005. I was happy beyond belief
when I arrived at the GMM booth at the Houston show to find them
minting my proposed design and hearing such positive comments from
showgoers about it. Click the links below for more interesting examples
of this design. Links: 2005 Double Die Houston token in copper & silver - 2005 DD Houston token in gold - 2005 DD Lincoln on small cent planchet, Indian Head Cent & Flying Eagle Cent |
