Just got out of surgery, post a clean, nice healthy coin!

A lesson to all, even a small wound, small piece of shrapnel can cost you your leg or life. I was lucky and close, never had this little BB sized gift from Mehdi army removed, broke the skin, and a few days later, 5 inch MRSA infection with 5 9 inch "fishers" what ever they are, tubes of infection from my hip to my knee. Lucky to be alive so show me your nicest coin.

Thanks!

    That sounds both painful and scary. Get well soon!

    The black here you see is not toning, it's the reflection of the scanner tray...

    Best of luck on your recovery, that MRSA stuff is nasty. Here's a neat brilliant silver piece, they do say that silver is antiseptic...

    Not my coin.

    I just missed buying this coin. By the time I saw it on the dealer's web site and contacted him it had sold. Broke my heart. It's in a Rattler holder too.

    Ron

    Edited to add: Hope you have a safe and speedy recovery.
