<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hiho, post: 910096, member: 21869&quot;]My dad was a beat policeman in Jersey City in the 1950&#039;s and he assembled a pretty nice coin collection by asking shop owners if he could look through their change. He was honest and polite (and pretty charming) but if they said no he would respect their wishes. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He actually found a 1916-D dime once, imagine that. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He used the collection to move us out of a Jersey City apartment and into a nice little house on Long Island. And I believe he made it a point to reward the shop owners who let him search their tills every Christmas with a little gift.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>He was a classy guy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
