<p>[QUOTE="silverfool, post: 1564590, member: 34997"]they had a rough life. I have seen pictures where they actually used silver shovels (to cut down on damage!) to scoop then up for counting into canvas bags. then they got placed/tosssed into a wagon pulled by horses to a railroad for shipment to wherever. it amazes me that there are any high grade old coins. some collectors went right to the mint to pick up bags or rolls but that didn't happen much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
