<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gatzdon, post: 292913, member: 8247&quot;]I need to start going to your coin club meetings OP, I went to mine last night and my son got a harshly cleaned &quot;American Heritage War Coin Set&quot; (or some title like that) for $3.50.&nbsp; It contained a Silver War Nickel, Steel Cent, and two shell casing Bronze Cents, all harshly cleaned (to the point where much detail was removed).</p><p><br /></p><p>He paid about $3 too much, but seeing as how he is 6 years old, really wanted it, he is still learning, and as of yet still doesn&#039;t understand how cleaning the coin ruins it; I let him get it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It made him happy and in the end, that&#039;s what really counts.&nbsp; He enjoys the auctions and if I let him, he will bid to a million dollars to get the item he wants, then ask me to &quot;borrow&quot; the money to pay for it.&nbsp; I look at it as life learning experiences for him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and by the way, nice buys OP considering you got the dollars and mercuries at melt value (actually the mercuries are at about 10 times face value)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
