<p>[QUOTE="bearze34, post: 2012928, member: 71706"]I remember in the early 70's I found an ad in TV Guide (I think) where they would send you some junk coins, Buffalo Nickles with no date, etc and you either kept them or sent them back. Well, I had no money for postage and the coins kept coming so my collection grew, that is until my mom came home early from work and found the bill. So my mom confiscated my coins and hardly spoke to me until I had sufficiently worked around the house to pay for them. I begged daily to get them back to no avail for a few months. I owed $5 and it might as well have been a million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
