<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 110887, member: 4791&quot;]<b>Littleton circa 1970 ish..</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I was just getting into collecting and pulling coins from change etc&nbsp; like most kids back then filling my Blue Whitmans at a fast and furious pace.&nbsp; There were some coins that I could not find obviously in circulation.&nbsp; I seen an ad in a magazine and decided to start purchasing coins in the mail to fill those holes.&nbsp; How cool was that!&nbsp; Well, I did keep the coins that I had purchased some 35 years ago.&nbsp; Looking back, I know that I overpaid (correction &quot;grossly overpaid&quot;) for all of them. But, as a kid I was fullfilling something that to this day I still look at and enjoy.&nbsp; I remember one 1841 large cent, $5.00.&nbsp; nothing in todays market for sure, but to a preteen, WOW...&nbsp; I still have that coin. Was it worth 5 bucks? Naaa, not then and not now. So in one sense I agree, Littleton is way overpriced, other hand, there are alot of memories here from saving&nbsp; hard earned paperroute money to buy coins from them.&nbsp; Good investments? Not a chance.&nbsp; Do I feel like I was taken advantage of.&nbsp; To a degee yes.&nbsp; Have I ordered from them in the last 25+ years? Not a chance, I grew up and got smart! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; &nbsp; My guess is with the internet the way it is, They are doomed.&nbsp; I just went to their website for the first time. I wonder if they are in need of a 1841 large cent that they sold many years ago that was&nbsp; harshley cleaned?&nbsp; BUT SHINEY!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
