[QUOTE="ToddB67, post: 2536260, member: 18134"]vintagemintage, Most other members who replied to this thread had their fun with me and that's OK, but if one of them had just given me your above answer, it would have been a lot more helpful. I re-read the Wikipedia articles before logging-on tonight and it finally dawned on me that the "Westward Journey" Nickels are a sub-group within the Jefferson Nickel family and the alloy composition of the Jefferson nickel hasn't changed in all these years ! So, thank you for being so kind and helpful. Chris (cpm9ball) hit the nail on the head; I did take Algebra in High School and barely passed the course with D's and some F's. I've never been good with abstract thinking, Algebra for example, but I love Trigonometry ! However, I've always wished I was fluent in Algebra; it's a powerful tool and at age 75 my son helps me occasionally when one of my Science-oriented hobbies requires a formula. Sometimes it's just difficult for me to think "outside-of-the-box" and I'm ashamed to say I need someone to lead me down the proverbial primrose path so to speak and point me to the answer. You did that for me, so "you the man !" A BIG thanks to you and others who tried to help. ToddB67[/QUOTE]
