[QUOTE="ranchhand, post: 58236, member: 2622"]I remember Mr. bowers writing an article not that long ago, he was talking about history in places we don't realize. his example was a question: What was the coins in a cash register on june 19 2005 at such and such gas station" I am heavily paraphrasing here ;) It made me think of my little "wedding horde" and how it is a piece of history, a rare chance to see what was in someones pocket october 8th 1938 ( thats when my grandparents tied the know ) Now i am using the phrase "hoard" but realize that this is not a ton of coins, maybe $4 or $5 in change, halves, dimes, nickels, etc. I can not remember if i had any peace dollars. the dificult part will be seperating the wedding money from the money i got fromt he bank teller, but it should not be very dificult. anything newer then 1938 is from the bank... and yes i love my dad for "holding" my coin collection for me, I would have probably sold it when i was a starving student :0 I DID sell a pile of 1964 kennedys that i had, and i regret it today...[/QUOTE]
