    Hello everyone,
    You know I'm always finding neat items.
    I found this acrylic half sphere with 13 Cents embedded inside. It was resting on top of an abandoned electric scooter near my job.

    I grabbed it quick before someone else did!

    Too bad they aren't shield cents; that would have been a good use of those coins! :smuggrin:

    Still, a cool "artifact" (but it's not a toilet seat!) :p:joyful:

    Very cool find, Edwin! I'd put that on my desk and display it proudly.

    Nice find Paddy. It’s a paperweight that was made for the Bicentennial. Looks to be in great shape as it’s not marked up with scratches. The reason it has 13 coins is the representation of the 13 original colonies.
