Doesn't look very "hammered" to me.

Must've been a really SOFT hammer, eh?

I thought the strike was quite strong, no?

Why so harsh, My Lord?

Yes, yes, an exceptional strike, indeed. You misunderstood me.

What I meant to say is that the adjective "hammered" conjures up images of beat up stuff like the large cent I am about to test, below. Or crude, thin medieval coins.

That is nice "modern crap" and I suspect the great Cladking would approve of it. If so, there's high praise- Sam was seeking out nice BU clad quarters in the early 1990s and I laughed at him then, but I ain't laughin' now! I still go for "the-older-the-better", but I don't turn my nose up at nice moderns anymore!

Testing... 1-2-3... testing....
