[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1595877, member: 24633"]You make valid points, Tom. When I was reading the OP's account, all I could envision was this old hag at a fleamarket near where I live and the nasty attitude she displayed when an elderly couple asked if she had a folder for the new Jefferson quarters. She snapped at them that they don't make a Jefferson quarter and turned away to "push around the pile of stuff" behind the counter. This was 2-3 years before the Prez dollars were introduced, so I knew exactly what the elderly couple meant. I began explaining to them that they were the newly-designed Jefferson nickels, and they could find the Whitman folders for nickels online. At this point the old hag, with her back still to the three of us, said, "That's just great! I pay rent on this place and he's trying to send my business away." I should mention that before the elderly couple had approached the counter, I had already asked the old hag to show me some of the Morgans in her case, but she took her good old time messing with tha pile of stuff behind the counter. Anyway, I turned and walked away and while I was still within earshot, I heard her say, "Hey, where did he go?" I never even looked back! Chris[/QUOTE]
