<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 5114638, member: 19250&quot;]This coin has a weak strike, struck on worn dies. It is raw and has been part of my collection since the mid 60&#039;s . I obtained it at face&nbsp; value out of my paper route collection bag. As a kid I had a fairly large news paper route,serving the papers and collecting the money once a month.</p><p>The older members here will remember paperboys as we were called. </p><p>What one needs to know is every dime,quarter,and half in my collection bag of change was silver.&nbsp; The bills used to make change were red seals&nbsp; U.S. notes two&#039;s ,silver certificates.</p><p>The nickels a mixture of Jefferson and buffalos. No cents as most recieved the week day paper, and or just&nbsp; the Sunday paper.... News Papers for both the Sunday edition and daily cost about $2.65 @ month.</p><p>So no pennies were never in the collection bag unless someone paid with them.</p><p>Those of us who were alive during this time paid for a many a ice cream or candy bars with a coin of 90% silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
