First day back to work in about a week and my trips back to Dunkin Donuts start again. Well at 5am this morning I see an old copper with some luster (guess I'm getting better from telling the copper from the zinc) and think to myself I'm going to have fun looking at this when I get to work.

So I'm at work and it's a 42D with some nice luster. Pretty sure there's nothing special about this date, but it's got to be 80% red and at least higher AU. Can't wait to take a picture when I get home!

LOL at the idea ... but why not!

I suppose I'll throw a few in my truck ... suppose I also need a stapler?

This is the reason I wont be holding on to any ;). I suppose you could just keep some scotch tape for the temp holder or something.
