Yep. It's a "parking lot penny". Roadkill, in other words. (Actually, the damage in this case looks to be more a result of corrosion than road...
Where are we, 1769? No can do, but I can do 1768. But if that's a bit premature, continue with 1769 for a while. [IMG]
Wow. All those amazing coins ... and bodybuilder abs, too. It's almost easy to hate you. ;) Here's a medieval approximation of what my abs...
