<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3119609, member: 93422"]Thanks beef! I agree that if it was worth quite a bit more, I wouldnt mess with it out of respect to the real collectors. Part of me enjoys the hunt and its fun to think I might find something with a nice premium but I know the chances are slim....real slim. I can toss them in a jar and look at them, spend them or shine them up in a ridiculous way ....then spend them lol. The other day I gave the pizza guy a tip with a handful of Kennedys. The kid was maybe 18 at most. He was so intrigued. I had cleaned them up. He said "these are cool, they have to be worth more than 50 cents each"...then I broke it to him that no, just 50 cents each but they are cool. With Paypal, credit cards, online pay etc. there is something instinctive about holding something beautiful that has some "weight" to it that represents value. Technology seems to be "stealing" that tangible value of money and coins away from the younger generation. 50 cents on a ledger balance on your BOA phone app verses holding a Kennedy half dollar in your hand....two totally different things. You respect the half dollar quite a bit more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
