City slickers.

That term should be recognized for all of those who never put winter tires on their vehicles.
Myself included.
Today is a snow day for me.
Crap happens. Stay safe if you have to drive.
And watch out for those critters that blend into the background. Saturday the precipitation was of a different sort and staying dry was a prudent choice
So when Sunday came around and nothing was falling out of the sky I took advantage of it.
Gas was covered.
The size difference between the dollar coins is really something when you see them side by side.
For those of you who enjoy looking at the trash and recyclables that I post.
This is the best I can do today. There were not a lot of keepers found yesterday.
This little locket is just plated. And the picture (if there ever was one) did not survive.

Only one silver was saved yesterday.
And on a side note, 65 years ago today this little lady became the queen of England.
The best find of the day came from a very mixed up signal. I tried Denis's method of cooking the coin.
I didn't use the oven as he suggested.
My heating choice was our automatic coffee maker.
The results were better than I expected.
This side turned out nice.
I was hoping for better but what can you do. This result however blew me away.

Neat photo if it snowed like that here the state would shut down. Interesting dollar comparison, we had a dollar like that and it was confused with the quarter a lot of the time.

Yup the Susan B Anthony Dollars looked almost like a quarter.

I know that you guys down there really did not like your dollar coins very much. If I remember correctly you folks preferred the old folding green back.
Our modern dollar coins and quarters are exactly the same size as the ones down there by the way and none of us complain (unless we drop them out of our pockets) about them looking like a quarter. US and Canadian quarters. 24.26 mm (0.955 in) US and Canadian dollar. 26.5 mm (1.04 in) The standout difference is the old style dollar coins that we used to carry in our pockets. 32.13 mm, thickness 2.62 mm And at 15.62 grams with a couple of these on one side you felt the weight compared to what they are now. 6.27g

[2ndoldman]

PS the weight difference between the US quarter and the Susan B Anthony dollar is very noticeable Quarter 5.670 g Dollar 8.1 g
2.57 grams is quite noticeable.
But that is just my humble opinion.

Are those trade pipes Bruce?

[2ndoldman]

Only if you want to trade a point or 2 for them. :-) :-)
