Oh what a rush you get when you first find that coin
that you THINK might be valuable.

I had THREE cheap thrills with today's finds.
They only lasted about 7 nano-seconds each, but ya know,
sometimes that cheap thrill is about as good as it gets.

Kinda like the third 7 on the slot machine falling just short of the jackpot.
Aye!??

Anyway:
THRILL #1 - - Found the 20 Kroner piece that I thought was GOLD
THRILL #2 - - Found a quarter 1965 - Oh, so close!
THRILL #3 - - Found a dime 1968 - Again, close, but no cigar!

Also shown: A bent quarter; '59, '74, adn '81 pennies
and a bunch of clad pennies.
