In case you were wondering who the heck is Phoebe Ann Moses, this was Annie Oakley's real name. She went on to make sunglasses (so I was told).

As you can tell by some of my posts, I tend to hang on to some worthless coins. These are the ones that don't qualify for bank vault status.

This lovely trio was fished out of the trash from an estate sale. I could write volumes on the stuff I've found in trash piles including coins and gold.

These coins have all been shot (probably a .22). Not sure if they were tossed in the air or stuck to the side of a board. Maybe somebody held them in their hand while being shot. Just look for the guy missing a finger or two. I promise to show nicer coins in the very near future.

I like odd things as well. These are monuments to the capacity of certain humans to stretch the bonds of stupidity almost to the snapping point.

Instead of 'going postal' we can now say:

"Going Mintal."

PMD = Post Mint Discharge

When I first read the title, I was thinking "Coins shot by Grandma Moses?"

Speaking from personal knowledge if you are going to let someone shoot a coin from between your fingers one of two things are needed: (1) confidence in the ability of the person doing the shooting or (2) that sufficient amounts alcohol have been consumed.

It's like the exhibition shooter shooting a cigarette out of the mouth of a partner. Both parties need confidence.

Blindfolds are for chickens, or were you putting the blindfold on the guy with the gun?
