Morning. I am so dopey today. Bed early, slept fairly well, but Teddy woke at 4:45 (while I was in deep sleep) with his little allergy in his throat thing bothering him. I gave him a bendryl and could not get myself back to sleep. So will be dopey for the day. I am not a napper and on the rare occasion that I fall sleep during day it never refreshes me. Just makes me more dopey.
On a good note Teddy's chokey-snortles have subsided and he is sleeping quite soundly. lol

BEADS! / Helen - Really like your painting. Thought it was ocean rather than lake and see that artist is from east coast. And she spells her name the 'right' way too. LOL

CARL - Trying to jog memory on percentage of silver in the 1965-1967 US 'silver' coins. Are 1965 -1967 silver content 75%, 50% and 25% respectively? Or 75%, 50%, 25% or something else.

With the higher price of silver, though see from your post just now, that it has dropped from the mid 40's it was last year do you know what the value of those partial silver ones would be.?
I know when they price was down around $15 or so the silver buery I talked to was not interested in in post 1964 at all.

I have a fair number of later 1800 dollars and a lot of the ones from the 20'S. Used to get them as door prizes at one job I had, when we had monthly meetings.

Coin stories.

My sister while visiting a covered bridge in New England with Mom found a 1700's penny. Years later I was at the same bridge with my Mom and looked but no penny for me. They were graduation trips and we were visiting living and dead reatives in New England hence the same location was visited.

When I was 15 on spring break with family in Missouri's Ozarks, I got an Indian head penny in my change. 1894 or 1896 I think. I had bought an apple head doll . Still have the penny and the doll though an errant mouse ate her apple head. I 've tried to make my own replacement but can not seem to get the apple completely dried before it molds. Got really close this year.

That was georgeous cobalt class in KELLI's link. Whether old or new loved the color and style. It made me go searching around a bit and I found these links. They do not tell about her glass but I found interesting because it has examples of colors of glass. I did not know that cobalt could have different shade of blue. I had always thought cobalt meant just the deep vibrant blue.
