I tend to lurk here... dial up speed makes posting on a regular basis a true pain in the kiester. However, I do enjoy all the threads and read each and every one,

I went to the bank yesterday and managed to get $100.00 in quarters and $100.00 in dimes. It was skunk on the quarters with one unusual coin. At first, when I looked at the eagle, I thought... silver. However, the date, 1978, negated that. But when I look at it, the head and the eagle appear to be silver... or more appropriately each has a `frosted`appearance.

Any ideas of what it might be.... and I am sorry about the lack of pictures.... again, dial up negates anything like that unless I wish to spend a large amount of time for things to upload

Canadian... bred and born here.

I live on the Arrow Lakes in B.C....., If you find Spokane Wa., look north about 150 miles... and there we are... the tiniest town of Edgewood..

The lake is going down so all of the old towns that were `drowned`when the dam was erected, are becoming exposed.... makes for pretty good dirt fishing too.

But my closest large city is 80 miles away.... so, you take the good with the bad

Well, it is on the geography atlas I study from for the Geography Bee. How many people are in the town? I can't find any information on that.

I am also pretty sure it is not as small as this town:

Population of about 300-325.... not very many as a population goes.

But your neighbours are always there for you if you need them.

And I never have to lock my doors :icon_thumright:
