<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 3565224, member: 102022&quot;]Thanks Lego. Makes logical sense. I&#039;ll keep them. Besides, there are a lot of &#039;almost&#039; serial numbers in the cigar box. </p><p><br /></p><p>My uncle wasn&#039;t the traditional collector in the buy what he likes type of collection. He was just a save what he thinks is significant type of collector. Nothing slabbed. Nothing in books. Nothing in holder&#039;s. Everything stacked in a cigar box. Everything collected from his pocket change. In order for me to determine the cigar box contained anything of significance it required me to scour the contents in a CSI type of search. </p><p><br /></p><p>Before I realized the box was something a little special I did dip into it and spent probably $15-$20 of the bills. It was actually joining Coin Talk that opened my eyes to checking the contents more closely. I was never a paper money collector, only coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The members on CT schooled me 100%.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI, I have no idea whatsoever the bills I passed on using the stack as spending money. Fortunately it was only $15-$20. Could have been a lot worse. There&#039;s still a solid $415 left over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
