Hi,

Same with these: are they collectable?

Thank You.

Anything is collectible, unless it will spoil.

Are they worth anything? No, not worth jack.

Cool looking opossum on the back though (I think that's what it is....hmmm). Here in the Deep South they make possum soup.  I highly doubt I will ever try any but I would like to shake the man's hand who took it upon himself to first try road kill...... and the same goes for the first dude who thought about eating psilocybin from a cow patty...

This post made me do a little research @JKK into Australian coins.  Any truth to this statement below from Wikipedia? I had assumed the 1943 Copper Lincoln would have held the world record (however different grades may account for price discrepancy) but then again, we all know what assume means....  Maybe I need to be on the lookout for a 1930 Copper Australian Penny.

"The 1930 penny is one of the rarest Australian coins, due to a very small number being minted^[1] and holds the record as the most valuable copper penny in the world.^[2] It is highly sought after by coin collectors, and a 1930 penny in very fine condition can be worth A$45,000 or more."

JKK's got this just right.....in circulated grades they're only worth face value.

Thanks guys. And thanks GBrad, yer right it's a possum. But the Aussie ones are MUCH cuter. North American possums are just terrifying 10-pound rats. LOL
