lucv13 Valued Member Canada 413 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 09:08 am Leaving work this morning, checked my change for a Timmies and found and odd colored dime - mmmm silver? Sure enough flip the coin and there's George VI. Take out my keys to get to my loupe to check the date and it's a 1047 - rare find in this day and age...

LOL, Thanks I figured as much, no num pad on this keyboard relying on my old typing skills learned in high school 1971 guess I missed the 9. Unfortunately it is not a Viking privy nor a Maple - Oh and it's Luc V not Lucy Edited by lucv13 09/23/2015 7:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
