I am a coin nerd.

I just tiled my....errr....my wifes new Florida room and it was a fun project, as I love working with my hands almost as much asI enjoy coins. The room is 16' X 12' and the project turned out great....except for one thing....the walls are 4X4 posts and framed in with 2x4's, so after I set the door in place, I had a small gap at the threshold ....so I set in a row of Buffalo nickles to take up the gap....whattaya think? Better than a row of one inch tiles.

Title changed to confess the sins of a coins nerd.....and join the band wagon on another post.

    She pretty much just thinks I am a coin nerd.

    I think that is great! Very creative! Nobody, except a coin collector or observant child, will notice. It is good to be a coin collector and/or a child!

    Now it would be even better if 4" really meant 4"... Why should the 4" x 4" posts be any bigger than the 2" x 4" framing wood? My house is so old that the wood is all 1/4" extra rather than 1/2" smaller. They used to cut the wood larger so it would dry to size.

    Trailer............lol, I wish I only had the bills of a trailer and could keep my home.

    Uhmmm the thick wall theory doesnt hold water......but the gap still is there and so are the nickles...hope the mortar holds them in for a long time.


    I think a nice Proof 67 1937 buffalo would look better in the middle.

    I used all partial date and some acid dated coins....all mint marked so it adds that touch of class.....lol

    I've got the wood gap issue in my house. I guess when they built it back in the 20s an inch was an inch. Go figure. I love the buffalo nickel trim. I think that was an inspired idea.

    I wanted to do a Morgan dollar in the middle of the floor, but she drew the line at the door.......

    good idea.......probably cheaper than if you cross furred the 2 x 4 wall to bring it out the difference............

    I think it's neat (even though I'm not a buff fan). image

    Now you can say to all your guests "Please take your shoes off at the door...this floor cost me a fortune." Or, "This house has nickel and dimed me to death." Or, "Watch your step...I just had my floor buffed." image
