41 rosie and 43 Canadian V nickel

[beerguy]

Went back to town to go to the auto parts store.

Stopped by my spot, found a 1941 rosie, and a Canadian 1943 nickel.

Made of a brass alloy called Tombac.

Rang like a copper penny, so the nickel size confused me.

Cool day, silver quarter, and dime and a few odd things!

Forget the Rosie--that's a Merc! I've only ever found one of the Canadian V nicks...and I live in Canada lol. Nice job

Oh, yeah. Got them mixed up.

I was more jacked by the Canadian coin, as I had never seen one.

I was wondering why a nickel sized object ID'ed the way it did, knew it would be a surprise.
