<p>[QUOTE="coin_nut, post: 6078637, member: 80148"]My dad was born in 1920. He told me he remembered seeing his dad sell some small farm and it was paid for in double eagles stacked on the table. I guess grand dad was what they call a 'house flipper' back then. I recently bought a well worn 1934 buffalo nickel and looked at it, thinking, my dad was a 14 year old boy when this was minted.[ATTACH=full]1244821[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
