ElonU Pillar of the Community United States 703 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 9:55 pm My wife found this in her jewelry box tonight. Even though we have been married for years, she put it in there before we met and forgot about it. She received it in change years ago. Pretty fun find to say the least :) Edited by ElonU 01/25/2016 9:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 11:55 pm Definitely. I suggest getting rid of it soon before zinc rot sets in. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff

ElonU Pillar of the Community United States 703 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 08:38 am Thanks gents. The "copper fever" hit me a couple weeks ago, hence why I joined the forum. Sorry the pics are blurry, but my DLSR camera finally bit the dust after about 250,000 shutter clicks. Just have the crappy phone to use for a while. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 08:59 am A nice casual find. I'm glad she set it aside. I'm not sure what kind of phone you are using, but many folks here use their camera phones to post pics. Browse the photography forum for some tips with working with cellphone cameras.

nss-52 Moderator United States 54286 Posts	Posted 01/26/2016 09:28 am I just find it incredible that anyone would give that out as change. They must have taken it in as payment that day, then gave it back out. It would never fit in a roll.
