    Ok, I'm in for this round 9. I do like War Nickels.

    And did you know, it's the only U.S. coin that contained Manganese until Manganese Bronze was used to coat (clad) the "Golden Dollar" in 2000 ???? It is used to give those dollars their 'golden' color.

    But it is still the only U.S. coin to contain both manganese and silver, and it contains about 2-1/2 times the manganese as a percentage of it's composition than those golden dollars do.

    I'm in for @Jersey magic man, and congrats to @Travis G on Lot #8.

    When not napping with her buds, Tye-dye likes to eat her meals under her very own Christmas tree. Seriously, what we do for our pets.

    Took me a minute to catch that one. LOL.

    Reminds me of a sign I saw once that was advertising a Taco Bowl. Unfortunately they misspelled “bowl” as “bowel”, which sorta changed my appetite.

    War nickels are certainly fun due to their historical significance. Here is a picture of a new denarius I have recently added to my collection.

    I'd like in for Round 9, My Jefferson folder is slightly naked in the war nickel section, this would fill a couple holes.
