<p>[QUOTE="CopperKing559, post: 1346196, member: 34940"]Lmfao. Sounds like you've had your fair share of let downs. The other day, I was going through a silver collection that was passed on to me from the old lady across the street. We're in the central valley in CA, so it gets fairly dusty here. My brother and I used to sweep her drive way every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for a box of chocolate milk. One day, she passed her silver to us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anywho, I was going through it checking dates and removing them from the paper container because it seems the paper is staining the coins (40 year old Bank of America paper holders. Hold's like 2 bucks in dimes for, "savings deposits." She used it for silver). Come to find out, 5 or 6 of the most beautiful Roosevelts aren't even silver! They were various 6x's but not silver. I was sort of let down, but the immediate feeling that hit me after was that she even gave this to me, rather than her son or grandchildren. I was humbled, to say the least. I can finish off the last 5 or 6 on my own.</p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
