Nice bike mds308!!  Well I finally bought a nice example of the coin I've wanted as my avatar, I just emailed Susan the photo today so hopefully it's changed soon  But even though its not changed yet I figured I'd post it as it will be soon! I searched long and hard for an example of this coin that I just couldn't live without so I thought it appropriate to use it as my avatar. I'm from Mass, I went to Zoo-Mass.. I mean U-Mass  , home of the Minutemen! And also Concord has special meaning to me (I'd rather not get into that though, not the best of memories but something I never want to forget) so I wanted an example of this coin I would be proud of.. So here it is.. (The first photo is the one I requested as my avatar, I just thought I'd post the reverse as well)   |

mds308, please tell me you own and ride that piece of art. My avatar:   Doesn't gain much detail presented in high resolution, does it? |

Dave, Glad you ended with piece of ART. Had me worried for a second. It's a 2005 Heritage with a NON Harley paint job. You can tell Harley didn't paint it because there's no orange-peel. It has almost 30,000 miles. She's no garage queen but she's babied and pampered. I bought a silver dollar today and all I could think of was your avatar. What a coincidence. I have your coin relative equivalent. Only 24.6 grams of 90 percent Ag goodness from 1925.   |

That coin was a gift from vermontensium. It will be my avatar everywhere from now on, and will be buried with me. Along with a couple of others.

I've always liked that 1890 half Moe.

May 17, 1776 emission Continental Currency 2/3 dollar. Close-up of the first appearance of Ben Franklin's great Fugio rebus design (months before appearing on the Continental Currency dollar coin, and 11 years before the Fugio copper). The blue lines are silk threads, and the white spots are reflections from flakes of mica, both incorporated in the paper as anti-counterfeiting measures. The dots in the corners around the sundial each stand for 16.6667 cents; the 1/6 dollar has one dot, the 1/3 dollar has two, and the 1/2 dollar has three:   Edited by philadelphian

1943 Tombac Victory nickel. These photos do not do the coin justice, the colour is gorgeous in hand.   |

My AVATAR is my Quadstruck 2003D LMC. To date, this is the only multi-struck 2003 Cent I have seen, and was lucky enough to purchase it from someone having access to errors found in a counting house in 2003.   |
