MY NEIGHBORS SILVER

[BigWaveDave]

I started in my front yard w/ a 46 Jeff, then my neighbor gave me the OK to hunt her back yard. I focused on the old clothesline corner, and scrounged some clad and a wheat. I called "one last target" as football was calling (Sunday)... then this little honey presented herself, born in Philly in 1935, I have named her Shannon.



Very, very exciting!

Although the Mercury dime designer claims the model was a wife of an apartment neighbor, he designed this statue which was erected in 1909. He never disclosed the model for the dime. Pretty close resemblance. The statue is a male soldier. File:Weinmann Victory face.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
