<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PdlJmpr, post: 1185613, member: 23797&quot;]&#039;</p><p>I started an ATB P&amp;D bag subscription in 2010 with assurances from my coin club that they would help absorb some of them.&nbsp; I&#039;m still stuck with too many.&nbsp; When the Mint raised prices this year I switched my subscription to ATB P&amp;D rolls and that has helped reduce my excess.&nbsp; Couple of weeks ago I remember a story about a friend&#039;s brother who owns a coin shop north of here and how he attempted a promotion to stimulate downtown business.&nbsp; He placed an ad in the paper and posted fliers in neighboring stores that he would spend several 1914D Lincoln cents at the stores near him and would buy them back.&nbsp; Only one came back, don&#039;t know the verdict on how it improved business.&nbsp; I thought I would try to stimulate interest in the ATB&#039;s and am in the process of spending about 80 of them on small purchases.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know its a loss of about 13 cents each to me, but I decided I could justify it because it might inspire a few collectors and help the hobby in general.&nbsp; It was also inspiring to see the kindness shown to bravebirdman in SD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
