    Ouch! Great coin. The right hand pic looks like it has a smiley face in lower right hand quadrant.

    That is what happens when you are in a rush....
    I was taking snowblower down my ramps on tailgate. Half way down, the ramps fell, plus me and the blower. My fingers ended up squashed between ramps/blower. Then, I still had to clean snow from 40 driveways. Thankfully, no snow in forecast for 14 days....

    You continued to work after breaking your fingers? Your hardcore.
    This reminds me of a time when i was fishing off the coast of Monterey with my father in law. The boat hit some rough water and he ( Bob), slammed into the live well. We continued to fish. 2 days later we discovered he had fractured a few ribs. He certainly didn't want to let broken ribs interfere with our trip.

    Snow! Several years ago my first PT job in retirement was as a greeter at the Roger Maris Cancer Center in Fargo, ND. We were experiencing a bitter winter. A man came in the door and as we were commiserating about the snow and wind, he told me what his neighbor had just said after blowing snow:

    I feel like loading this snowblower on a trailer and heading south, not stopping until someone asks me: “What the hell is that thing?”

    I must have gotten that from my Uncle Karl in Germany. He was drafted in Jan/45 (just turned 18) into the SS Nordland schwere Panzer battlion. By Feb.45 he got command of a KonigsTiger. In a battle with Soviet tank forces, after knocking out 12, he went to rearm, refuel. His commanding officer noted a lot of blood dripping onto the snow. He had shrapnel go thru his lung, but went back into action and scored 5 more enemy tanks that day. He also got me into collecting coins, when i was eight years old. But, I could not hold a candle to him, blowing snow, is not the same as getting shot at;)

    Thanks, I thinkI have more Dukats, then Mohurs, but I have around 50 Mohurs. The biggest coin ever struck was the 1000 Mohur grom Emperor Jahangir (35 pounds) of gold, the Mughals also minted the teeny weenie 1/64 Mohur!

    Is that the secret of how you manage to afford so many gold coins for the panzerman museum? :)

    Nope, snow is just for pocket change.However, from April to Dec 1st, I maintain 140 properties. My clients want me to look after the lawn/ flowerbeds/ shrubs/ hedges/ leaves plus the lawn chemicals....complete job. Most companies hire 6 employees/ i work solo, so make enough to pay all the bills/ plus have 120K left for my coin collection @ year. So, a guy who cuts grass, can have a 5 million dollar collection:) Added benefit walking 260 km a week keep one in good shape/ never been sick a day in my life.

    Most people your age spend 120K a year on drugs, not coins. At least they would if they didn't have insurance.
