[QUOTE="clembo, post: 7468639, member: 8033"]Actually I did notice that I was posting in ancients but liked the thread. As a rule I avoid pawn shops. Just a chance meeting with these guys and only a block from my house. I basically told them if they had questions about U.S. coins or paper money that I might be of help. Before ending up on disability I worked in a legit coin shop for about 10 years. The owner has had a shop since 1966 and he still calls me on occasion about U.S. paper money or errors. We had one customer who knew ancients very well. We consulted with him any time we ran across them. I own a few just because I thought they were cool and not overpriced. Better than "rare" widows mites though.;) As for gardening and dumpster diving I obviously can still get things done. It just takes a lot longer and I have to rest a lot. Still enjoy it though![/QUOTE]
