These make the perfect gift for that guy who has everything! You can order the year that is meaningful to you or a loved one! The year is high lighted when we patina the pennies and lacquered to keep the colour. Please write the specific year you want in the comment section when checking out. Only available in Antique colour. Pennies from 1996 to 2012 are glued as they are made of copper plated zinc so melt too easily for soldering and the rest are soldered on. This and the age of the penny is the reason for the price difference.
