The leaves on your mame would be less than an eighth of an inch long, and Mercury dimes were last minted in 1945. zube __________________ Sorry doesn't put thumbs back on the hand, Marge. H. Simpson

But the tree is still very real. This is my same Serissa as I posted a while back. But I dug up my old Dime and though it would be cute. - Misspeled_Name __________________ "When practicing the art of bonsai, Not only are you growing a tree, but the tree is growing you" - $h@rKByte - CONSTRUCTION (!UNDER CONSTRUCTION!)

Please send me a 'Dime', so I know how big it is, otherwise try using inches, or better still centimeters, some of us are not Americans.

For referrence, a dime is about as wide as my pinky finger is. Does that give any indication as to the "perceived" scale.

Good trick Mispeldnaim. I /thought/ '72 was a little late for the mercury dime.

The nursery pot seemed a little out of scale too. It was fun though.
