Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1791519, member: 15929"]It's always nice to dream about what you would do. However, its only a dream. The reality is that if you cannot afford the coins today, then you could not have afforded them back then since you'd have to have purchased them with yesterdays salary. Back when 90% Kennedy Half Dollars were .50 cents each, I could not afford to stick a $10 roll of them away! Heck, I had to save up the $7.00 fee for my High School Yearbook which, BTW, amounted to better than 7 hours of work at minimum wage after taxes. Back when Eisenhower Dollars first came out, I could not afford to put a roll of those away either! Matter of fact, I had a difficult time paying my monthly rent at $150. I remember getting my first job at $5.00 and hour! Holy Carp, that was $200 a week!However, 1970 US Mint sets were selling for $20 each which happened to be, a lot of money back then! Yes, its always fun to dream as long as we know...............it's only a dream. Remember, there was once a time when the 1793 Flowing Hair cent only cost a cent.[/QUOTE]
