<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8114062, member: 100459&quot;]I think it has been mentioned that the Red Book is out of date the day that are published.&nbsp; Although the two coins are the smaller ones, it seems it would be wise to find the value of your coins from LCD&#039;s and other places.&nbsp; Unless I absolutely had to have the money due to school loans or medical bills or many other things that some goon will come to your door and tell you that if you don&#039;t pay your bills, they will break a few of your fingers.&nbsp; </p><p>There was a time (1970) when I was discharged in the U.S. Army and I didn&#039;t have any money buy a gas space heater.&nbsp; I had just become a father.&nbsp; The heater only cost $50 and the amount was due.&nbsp; Our baby had just been born and the apartment didn&#039;t have a heater.&nbsp; I signed a note to be paid in December 1970 and I didn&#039;t have a job.&nbsp; A few days after the note was due for payment, While I was out trying to find a job, my wife answered the door.&nbsp; She was told by a man that looked like a Pro-Wrestler, that If I didn&#039;t pay off my note, they were going to take the heater and a washing machine for interested. My wife was still recovering from a breach birth and could hardly get to the door.&nbsp; The goon said she had 24 hours to pay our debt.&nbsp; He scared the bageezzus out of her.&nbsp; I called her to check in to see how she was doing and she told me what happened.&nbsp; I hated to do it, but I had to go to her father to get the $50.&nbsp; It was hard, but I had to do it.&nbsp; If I had coins back then, I would have sold what ever I had to do to pay the bill.&nbsp; </p><p>Unless I had to pay a bill or have a goon to threaten you, I would sell the coin to pay the bill.&nbsp; Another bill that I had was to the ESSO Gas Company credit card.&nbsp; I was 20 and I didn&#039;t want to ruin my credit history.&nbsp; My father in law took me to the bank and signed a not so I could pay off that credit card.</p><p>I&#039;ve learned a lot more since those days.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have any outstanding dredit card bills, car loans, or a house loan.&nbsp; I learned a lot for that first and second late bills.&nbsp; We own 2 houses, 4 cars, 6 dogs and a cat.&nbsp; Sorry for the lengthy message.&nbsp; When you talk about outstanding debts, it brings back some horrible esperiences.</p><p>Keep your coins.&nbsp; If you them, you can never get them back for what the are worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
