After that, I would sneak into their bedroom for a closer look. I would pull out the drawers to make "stairs" so I could climb on top of the dresser and run my hands through the coins. Fast forward 50 years and I bought a bunch of old, circulated rolls from eBay and dumped them into a silver dish (a sterling bed warmer, actually). I keep the warmer on my dresser so I can run my hands through the old coins once in a while...like I did on my grandfather's dresser. Crazy, I know, but it makes me happy. :) You can't do that with uncirculated coins in slabs.[/QUOTE]
