  NCLT LARGE CENT PROPOSAL
  

  Steve Pellegrini offers the following observation about the ongoing
  Cent Survival debate: "I agree with the economists mentioned in
  E-Sylum v9#28 who observed that the day of the relevant cent is gone
  for good. Bye. However, I would like to see the Mint striking a yearly
  NCLT large cent in pure copper. Pure copper coins are extraordinarily
  beautiful and if handled carefully & intelligently (no, not slabbed)
  will either stay pristine or with some luck develop lovely patinas.
  These large cents could be included in the Mint's regular annual sets.
  My only caveat would be that the coins would have to be contemporary
  and original - of obvious artistic merit. And no, no, no rehashed 18th
  and 19th c. designs. Certainly no more buffaloes. There are now more
  buffaloes looking out from various US coins than there ever were when
  they were alive & breathing - even before we set out to kill 'em all."
