so besides trash some lincolns and the usual I scored this beat up 5 cent somethin or other I have no clue? my prism 2 scored again!
 I think, any ideas on what I have in me hands. did the best to photo  it. this thing looks like it has been through the wringer on one side.
but I'll take it. if it is the oly thing i find all year at least I can say I found an old coin insstead of buying one.
forgive me if I am slow to respond I don't get email alerts for some reason in my home page email adress. Jimby
