<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 972237, member: 19463&quot;]I believe I have posted before about the 36 jar gem case I bought for housing coins&nbsp; too small to fend for themselves in regular trays?&nbsp; I decided I liked it but the&nbsp; coins I selected (under 1g Greek silvers) almost filled up the case and I was&nbsp; concerned that I might have trouble matching it if I did not buy another so I&nbsp; went to the antique/junk store that sold them and bought the only other one in&nbsp; stock ($15).&nbsp; I decided I could expand the definition of &#039;tiny&#039; to include&nbsp; diobols so I&#039;d have 70 coins in two boxes (I still have 14 empties because there&nbsp; are 2-3 in some jars when they are minor variations or duplicates).&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;My wife wanted to go along and stop at Costco to get a couple more photos&nbsp; from her trip to fill out her brag book (13cents x 20=$2.60) and get lunch&nbsp; (hot dogs and soda:$3.15).&nbsp; My daughter and grandson wanted to come along for lunch (split pizza and frozen yogurt) $3.75) and to see what&nbsp; Costco had in the way of a food processor/blender (no decision made yet but&nbsp; $40-80 looks likely).&nbsp; At the antique shop, my grandson saw a bin of used&nbsp; golf balls and he picked a yellow one - he was being good so... (40 cents); the daughter saw a secretary desk on special&nbsp; sale that she liked and... ($219).&nbsp; Since the desk would not fit our car, we&nbsp; dropped Grandma and Grandson off, got the pickup and went back to get it.&nbsp; Our Grandson was being especially cooperative with Grandma so we got him a surprise&nbsp; package of 24 Silly Bands which he had admired when their earlier but was told&nbsp; he did not need them.&nbsp; Not whining the first time and helping Grandma fold&nbsp; laundry without a fuss... ($2).&nbsp; After loading the desk, the truck would not&nbsp; start so we called for a tow first to the daughter&#039;s house to drop off the desk and&nbsp; then to the repair place (interrupted double tow with help unloading&nbsp; furniture $80).&nbsp; The repair place said that the fuel pump was shot ($600).&nbsp; &nbsp; That was one expensive coin accessory!&nbsp; If I had known then what I know now, I&nbsp; could have popped all the coins in my mouth for more authentic storage and saved&nbsp; a bunch![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
