No I don't have big knuckles ,but i do have some callouses and some carpel tunnel at times and arthitus, but it doesn't stop me performing in my field I have to it;s my life i must be creative it's in the blood. I'm so sorry again :headbang:and your right This is a learning school because i;m still learning there;s so much to absorb in this field of numismatics my brain hurts me sometimes from trying to comprehend and retain everything. Sorry I do feel badencil:. Joe
Drummers! Moving right along:goofer:....I tried to find a link to my stepkids space. No Go. I think he's pulled the page since turning 31 a few weeks ago. Because his name is Morgan, I fixed him up with a few upon Graduation. (Not my really good ones...yet) He was a drummer in a "Physio Billie" band in St Louis. His knuckles are large from doing a lot of rimshots, RAW. Ok...all of him is Large, in a Buff way. Now he's older. Since getting his MBA, Moved to CO this Spring & has started using the brushes and ear plugs I gave him and dropped his tempo below 257 BPM. And since he's no longer in school now only needs to get a JOB so he can drop out of one of the two bands he is in. Now, :hammer:Hopefully he will not bang himself deaf before his knuckles shrink.
Next I've found the wheats from Post 1943, the ones made from ammo brass during WWII to wonderful in their variety. I've collected several that are multi-colored. This is my most extreme example. I had a dream once where a 1944 stuck to a magnet. This one does not. Any explanations? I once thought post mint solder, but some of the lettering seems to be OVER it. I esp. like the end "T" in Cents.
The cent shows chemical damage. Has anyone suggested the possibility that The dollar coin may have had a light layer of adhesive on it? Thanks, Bill
