I can barely see the coin with the glare from the holder.  What little I can see looks like a normal 1976 D Lincoln cent.  

[Henri Charriere]

Probably insensitive and seemingly cruel to even suggest this, but the antique centennial  cent, whose only saving grace, if authentic, were made from honest-to-goodness Mint State copper but for reasons unknown was unceremoniously placed in what appears to be (if there is such a thing) a genuine plastic frosted flip.

Many awards are given out to members for a variety of delectable delicacies at the end of each year. I am going to risk what remains of my imagined stellar reputation and cobwebby see-through credibility to nominate you for having the most tenacity and dogged determination to bring to the Forum unique heretofore unknown and unseen works to transcend the membership which has mired itself by default into a general lackluster year-end complacency.

If you are fortunate, the Great Z shall translate my dense soliloquy into more palatable prose, as only he can with his succinct signature style of translation and biting wit.  🤣

Just No. 

You're not going to get a different response by posting the same coin and false statements months later. It's a normal cent, period.

The only nagging question here is why, in the presence of a national studio audience of millions, you wouldn't remove the coin from its protective display flip onto an appropriate surface to enable viewers to examine it in its wondrous splendor?  🤔

You have a phone call from Mr. Oscar Meyer......

[VKurtB]

Oh please. Nothing.

Your fingernails are dirty.

[Henri Charriere]

Kindly remove the coin from the flip to enable viewers to more accurately assess its finish.

How did you become the recipient of this presentation piece? And a presentation to what or what for?
