[QUOTE="Bonedigger, post: 138778, member: 4367"]There's one fellow I recall who collected coins and was good friends with my dad as well back in the 1960s and 1970s. His name was Sherman E.

Nothing of real value, just silver dimes, quarters, and buffalo nickels. Sherman seemed to have everything from ArrowHeads to Rare Books.
