<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 959311, member: 24633&quot;]Well, not quite.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m an early riser, so I go to the neighborhood 7-11 every morning about 3 AM to get coffee and sit in my car to smoke &amp; work logic puzzles because I don&#039;t smoke in the house. This morning, one of the graveyard shift clerks, Robert, who knows that I collect coins, showed me what one of the customers used to pay for a pack of cigarettes. He handed me a 1922 Peace dollar, a 1954D &amp; 1960 Franklin and a 2004 SAE. Both the Franklins and the Peace had either been polished or were possibly used as &quot;pocket&quot; pieces, and the SAE had seen some circulation. Making a quick calculation in my head, I told him that his $3 &quot;investment&quot; was worth about $40 in melt value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Despite the fact that I&#039;m a smoker, I would never pay $43 for a pack of cigarettes. Oh, by the way, the guy who bought the pack of butts used three silver certificates to complete the purchase.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
