Good day out...

Nice stacks and very nice camera work. That 'bama penny is uber cool, I didn't know anything like that existed. Hey, how did you clean that penny? The often soggy soil here in Seattle is really rough on coins.

Where those really made like that?

I am not sure who makes the coins....but they are not done by the mint. I have seen a few different states engraved on pennies before, but this is the first time I have found one

I found this on the net..."They were sold as novelty pieces for 50 cents to a dollar each"

As for cleaning the coins up for the picture...The pictures were taken right after I give them a little bath to get the dirt off them. Once the pictures are taken, off to the tumbler they go. Then if I find something cool, it gets a 2nd picture after tumbling for you guys and gal to see. Any rare or older coins do not get tumbled. They get a bath and go straight into 2x2's.

The soil here in Oregon does the same thing
The Bama penny was found just like it is in the picture.

I used to live in Puyallup,WA It's some hard digging up there with all the river rock everywhere!
