smp New Member Canada 21 Posts	Posted 06/18/2011 11:51 pm My daughter phoned me this morning to tell me that she came across some coins at a yard sale on her street. So she picked me up some fishscales (which she knows I love), a couple of pennies from the 20's and a 1917 dime. I started collecting this past winter after not looking at my coins since the mid 80's when my kids were born. I was thrilled that my daughter did this for me especially since she thinks I'm nuts to spend time on coins. I can't wait for her to return tomorrow with the coins. Report this Post to the Staff

mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 1:05 pm I'm hoping that when my (2 year old) daughter is grown she buys me coins! Even though they will all go back to her someday anyhow. What is a fishscale? Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 1:13 pm A fishscale is a pre-nickel era five cent piece about the same size as a US Half Dime. They are nicknamed fishscales. Report this Post to the Staff
