I've been looking forward to this weekend… why? Simple. The local coin shop is open again after the holidays and I've had a bit of a coin acquisition itch to scratch. So first thing this morning I was off to run a few errands, and then hit the café to wait for the shop to open. I resisted the urge to buy… well… everything I don't already have, and settled on just a couple coins. Today's coin is one of those. A 1865 nickel Three Cent coin. I was sorely tempted to pick up a silver Three Cent, or Trime, either instead or in addition to the nickel coin, but ultimately decided that I didn't need them both right away and went with the nickel coins since it has more of the look of a classic American coin. This is the first Nickel Three Cent in my collection, and since 1865 was the first year they were minted, it seemed like a good choice to start.

I'd also like to make a quick note in amendment to yesterdays post/rant. Yes, I probably checked, or failed to uncheck some box on the sweepstakes web site that indicated I might be interested in being contacted by marketers… And I wouldn't be annoyed at them having thus contacted me, except that now they won't take no for an answer and STOP calling...
