<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1201179, member: 18157&quot;]My Father got caught up in the coin frenzy of the late &#039;50s and early &#039;60s. While he was busy cherrypicking Morgan dollars from the Cleveland Federal Reserve, he also salted away quite a few other coins...among them, twelve (12) bank sealed bags of Lincoln cents; 1959-1964 P/D.I wish he would have had the foresight to put that money into McDonald stock, but that&#039;s the way things go. He put them in cleaned out paint cans and they&#039;ve been in our garage for 50+ years. The paint cans were a good idea because they&#039;re not conspicuous in the garage and the coins don&#039;t get jostled around much if they need to be moved. When my Father passed, I was given the responsibility of toting these things around...until I die.I suspect the family &quot;albatross&quot; will be handed down for a few more generations until they eventually accrue a value that justifies having held on to them all this time...(I&#039;m thinking around the 2109 timeframe). With my luck, the paint cans will be worth more than the coins by then.Anyway, I know for a fact that these coins haven&#039;t been searched so I guess there&#039;s hope for other hoards of coins you may see advertised. I wouldn&#039;t trust much of what I see on eBay, though. I would go to estate sales or advertise in the local paper if I wanted a fighting chance of finding unsearched coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
