Me. Why dumb it down?

These people aren't being dealt with properly. The correct response would be to leave them to it, but keep bringing them cups of tea. Come 3am when they're cramped up and desperately uncomfortable, sitting in a cold puddle of their own making they'd be begging to be released.

I liked the way cats in Istanbul don't have specific owners. Community cats really, cared for and fed by many. -

My local hospital recently unearthed a time capsule from 1903 and there was a picture in the paper of some coins, including an uncirculated penny. Unfortunately they only pictured the obverse - all I could think was "turn it over".

That looks pretty decent to me. Don't recall seeing a better.

Note to self: look harder. I thought the die crack above the R matched but can now see it's in a different place. I don't see a flaw in the forehead where I would expect to see one for obverse 5 though. -

1903 Penny with squared off bottom loop inside the 3
mrbadexample replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
Well I'd always defer to those with more knowledge but I'm struggling to otherwise explain the increased thickness of the 3 at that point. -
1903 Penny with squared off bottom loop inside the 3
mrbadexample replied to terrysoldpennies's topic in Confirmed unlisted Varieties.
To my inexpert eye, I think there's die wear here giving a thicker lower curve of the three, which makes the bottom appear squarer. -
