RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 04/02/2006 8:20 pm Don't blame your eyes Gary, I can see the number of a bus when it's on the previous stop, but all I can get out of this coin is a 3-like thing:) Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 04/03/2006 12:09 am I did some editing to the photo and the second number looks like maybe a "5" to me and the last number a "3" here is the pictures and I outlined the second one to show where I see the numbers. Remember I could be wrong and it could be my eyes playing tricks but thats what it looks like to me. Here are the edited pictures Report this Post to the Staff
