1941 Checkers Set $325

1941 was the date in the Harry Nilsson song; Harry and I were born just six months apart in 1941, and our songs could have been pretty much the same.

You get 24 MATCHED US 1 Cent Lincoln Wheat coins in acrylic capsules, mounted in a stunningly beautiful blue velvet presentation case, along with a designer chessboard. I regard it as a good sign that the year 1941 is on the expensive side as coins go, especially Lincoln Wheaties.
