<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wledswift, post: 450407, member: 11461&quot;]Some of you might know that I work in a School District. One of my teachers knew of my collection and asked that I bring in some coins from the later 1800&#039;s to coincide with some of the history that they were studying at the time. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; As I&#039;m always glad to talk coins especially with the kids I brought in some Morgans, Large Cents, Trimes, three cent nickels and other bits and pieces. At the end I broke out with some Indian heads, buffalos, no date liberty nickels and a couple of morgans that had been pretty harshly cleaned. These I put in an old bank bag and let the kids dig in and take one, hoping they might just start thier own collection. I would say about 10 percent were awestruck with the coins that they recieved 70 percent just thought they were cool. Its the last bunch that gave me a kick. The next day I heard in the post office about how someone must have had a collection stolen because some of the kids around town were paying for candy with...........Morgan Dollars, Indian head pennies, buffalo nickels etc. I guess the moral of the story is that It is just money after all and even if its over 100 years old a dollar is just a dollar, and a nickel still just buys a piece of gum. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
