<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3593615, member: 92655"]Kein... I am sorry you got off on the wrong foot here. Yes, the folks that share information here have lived and breathed coins for decades. I been at it myself just shy of fifty years. Yes we do get ankle deep in conversation about die states and minor variations in mintmark placements. Really scintillating stuff..... Multiple times a day we see coins posted here that the owner believes are invaluable because somebody told their sister in law they saw something on the web.... It goes on and on. I am sorry that a divot in a cent is not remarkable to most of us. Without even thinking hard I can envision dozens of ways that could be done. Intentionally and otherwise.... But here’s the deal. Making a windfall from loose pocket change happens more infrequently than winning the lottery. Rather think about the people that held that 1960 cent. People worried about a nuclear war or sending a family member off to war. People that can’t remotely envision a cell phone or internet. There is so much that coins can do to enrich our minds and connect us to previous generations...... So stick around. Make some friends. Learn what real value lies in your old pocket change. I can promise you will be a richer man for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
