<p>[QUOTE="cannoncoins, post: 1743982, member: 28659"]That's a great story, thanks for sharing. I remember sorting through the giant jar of pennies at my grandmother's home that HER mother had saved from her drugstore at the turn of the century. Each year for Christmas she would let me sift through a few, grade them, price them using the redbook (which at the time I knew as the only price guide) and keep $25 (redbook value) worth (I was very conscientious of trying to not undergrade at all; little did I know that using the redbook I was pricing them pretty high to begin with). When I was 11 I stumbled upon an 1914-D Penny, and I explained to my amazed grandmother how much it was worth. Of course, *I* turned into the amazed one when she told me to go ahead and "add it to my little pile for this Christmas." I kept it in the little cardboard whitman folder for YEARS and now have taken it out to slab it, but I wouldn't sell it- even for twice its redbook value!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- </p><p> Silver and gold are not the only coin; virtue too passes current all over the world.</p><p> - Euripides</p><p><a href="http://www.coinsignment.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsignment.com" rel="nofollow">www.coinsignment.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
