[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 4798035, member: 89213"]For some of you that like coin stories I'll tell about how I came upon such a complete IHC. There were several Mom & Pop stores in my neighborhood. I knew all the owners and they trusted me. Many times I would work for them. One store about a block from the house was owned by an old man named Carl. His brother Art, who was even older, worked there. He probably worked there before the cent was changed from IHC to LWC. He really liked the IHC's he kept every one he came across. He kept them in coffee cans hidden in the basement. When I worked there I had to go in the basement quite often. I never touched his IHC's. He knew I was a collector and would sometimes let me dump out a can and pick a few. I always did what I could to help him. He lived across the street and I would stop to talk and help him and his sister. That, along with the fact that the IHC was still a regular find in change, provided me with the near complete set. I can't make myself upgrade any of it. Old Art and Carl are still a part of it.[/QUOTE]
