<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2315827, member: 17665"]Rather than continue on with another thread in which I am losing ground, here is my own...I'm 61 and guess I came from a different world it seems. "A penny saved is a penny earned". Yes, even though my back is killing me I will still stoop to pick up a wayward coin, throw it in the pickle jar and wait until I have enough to make a roll. I can always wash my hands afterwards. But what I do not understand is why someone would think of not taking the time or it not being important enough to card stray proof coins and try to sell them. Say you are making a set of the best by breaking down proof sets. Would you just toss the ones that don't make the grade into circulation? Even common cents and nickels in PF 65 have a fifty or sixty cent value. I do not come the throw away everything generation as I feel there is value in everything until the point comes when I cannot re-use it or sell it. Even then my un-needed items go to Habitat or the Goodwill for re-cycling. What say you all? I can take it, my shoulders are still pretty broad.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
