bill Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 As noted, its not my political view, but I still appreciate the political comment. the 2008 D dime ties back to the the 2008 Democratic convention in Denver. While I understand where the comment is coming from (not my view, I'm a San Francisco liberal), I wonder how the makers view the latest "tax compromise"? (Again, I'm enjoying the irony, not looking to spark a political debate.) And, its a nice dime to boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 HA! Using a democrats words against democrats! Seems odd as the Bush - cheney administration was so often referred to as the Fear mongers, but whatever. The collection of this could fall into political ephemera, numismatics, or exonumia. Similar to a token, but uses the dime (with the portrait of Roosevelt who "coined" the phrase) encased. Where'd you pick this curiosity up? Do you know of any other similarly encased US coins? It'd be an interesting collection (if there were others) for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I bought it on Ebay from a store in Utah (I presume the company who produced or at least ordered the encasements). I think this fits into a long history of political tokens, medals, etc. Bryan money is the most common type of political pieces to come to mind, but there are many others.

thedeadpoint Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Love the significance of the date and mint! Gotta say thats pretty good looking despite what it says and what they intend it to mean. I'm a big FDR fan and I'd gladly give a comrade a dime for that sucker!

just carl Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 It's OK I guess but probably just one more item being added to the growing hobby of coins. Books, pamphlets, magazines, folders, Albums and tons of other items for people in this hobby lately. Not long ago they started with the flattened cents, itched names and numbers on the coins, etc. I've even seen a toilet seat made up in coins.
