Dollar Coin Or Painted Quarter

So has this experiment been carried out already?

If not I recommend slicking the 2 coins together using scotch tape. The vibrations of th train will make them slide off. I would be lying if I said this wasn' from personal experience.

I would go with both :)

Duct tape works, my 11 year old daughter and I have used it many times.

There is an early Dollar on ebay that looks for all the world like it has been painted (poorly) with silver paint. LOL seller has a feedback rating of one and signed on a week ago. Maybe I wont bid.
that coin looks like a good candidate for a track fusion.

OMG! I'm new to collecting and can tell that thing is painted!

Sorry for not being as active as I would have liked, but I had to get my artwork and photographs ready to be displayed in our public library, as well as get everything set up for my church's festa.
And Happy Belated Father's Day to all.

Now back to my reply concerning my post:

Well, after a LOOONG time of searching for the perfect spot, I finally managed to put the coins on the railroad tracks. Here is the photo of the dollar coin, and ONLY the dollar coin since I can't find the darn quarter

Well as you can clearly see, the quarter's ridged rim made a nice indentation on the dollar coin. It's a little hard to see from the picture, but "Washington" looks really close to being perfectly centered on the coin. This was a fun experiment, only wish I could find that darn quarter and see what that looks like. But anyways, I probably will be doing this more and uploading the pics to my gallery.

Waste of a perfectly good dollar. Too bad the quarter escaped. I find painted coins to be without redeeming qualities of any kind.

Well, it actually worked out the way I was going to tell you to do it:

put the dollar under the train and throw the quarter at the train after it passes by. Then find the dollar and leave the quarter for future archaelogists.

Just about perfect, I'd say, except for the fact that the fingerprint is evidence of a crime.

Wow, looks like you have a very rare error dollar coin! lol
