<p>[QUOTE="MLee78, post: 2932224, member: 91608"]I live 10 minutes from where the place in Evansville used to be. It was in the same "strip mall", right next door to the gun shop in town with the only indoor shooting range that I used to go once a week or so. At the time (I was 20-21), as anyone that age, hadn't begun to think about silver/gold/inflation resistant investments (investing period really), but went in there one day after a cpl hours on the range. I listened to the guy and did a little askin around about precious metals investment, and next trip to the range, instead of buying extra ammo and range time, I went in and made my first transaction. Over the next few years, I accumulated a cool little stash of the coins (and a few of the bills). I was cleaning out the back bottom of safety deposit box and came across them, came home with them to get an idea what they might be worth today. I figured spot value, maybe the odd ones a bit more, so imagine my surprise to see the half was that much as I have bout a dozen of the stop the war half's, and a couple rolls worth of other misc. The dude was a good guy, the first day I met him and he broke down the principle and what he was doing, it wasn't subversive...he was doing what he said (and I feel he had the right to do). None the less, they're all cool...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
