<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tomn66, post: 72259, member: 3983&quot;]The biggest difference from when I started collecting in the early 60&#039;s to now is the availability of coins that were found in general circulation that now have to be purchased either from a dealer or on Ebay. </p><p>My dad would go to the local police station every Friday and buy the coins that they had emptied from the parking meters the night before.&nbsp; We would spend Friday night going thru the coins and spend Saturday morning counting and rolling the ones we didn&#039;t want.&nbsp; I can&#039;t list everything we found but it was amazing that even in the early 60&#039;s, Indian Head pennies and V Nickels were that common.&nbsp; We would keep all Mercury dimes and Standing Liberty quarters but alot of later date silver ( 1955 and later ) Roosevelt&#039;s and Washington quarters were turned back into the bank.</p><p>Even general store change included a lot of turn of the century coins.</p><p>If I could only invent a time machine.</p><p>Tom[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
