My grandpa used to collect nickels.
You've heard how people pinch pennies till they scream?
He made them holler bloody murder.
For how wrung-out this one looks, he may very well have had his hands on it at some point.
I like this nickel; I think it has a lot of character -- it was actually sent in one of those gimmicky junk mailers where they try to bribe you to part with $20 by sending you a REAL LIVE nickel.
Anyway, I kept the nickel.

My grandpa died a year ago today, and I happened to think about him and his nickels.
