Excellent, SquareCircle!  I had penny loafers long ago.

 Almost worth it to get a pair and use nickels in them to see if anyone would notice!

Pro tip for using USB microscopes to hunt for Lincoln Cent varieties when you have been staring through the microscope at Lincoln's eyelid for hours, looking for doubling. If these images start to look alike:  Very quickly turn off the USB microscope. Log off the computer and shut it down. Quietly walk away from the coins. Far away. Don't look back. Go outside. Do something, anything that doesn't involve coins.

Not quite coin related; but with the price of silver going through the proverbial roof...
