<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 26696412, member: 92655"]Used to be that for me coin collecting was filling books. I never show my wheat cent books because they were mostly filled with school lunch money in the late 60's-early 70's. I was blessed to have a little coin shop between school and my home. His jar was marked three wheats for a nickel as I recall and if I had water instead of milk for lunch, I had me a nickel to spend... I have kept those books humble because they remind me of the coin infatuated kid that lies under sixty-odd years of a wrinkled and grey exterior. So those humble books stay hidden in the safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Several weeks back our most generous [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] posted a list of giveaway coins and one of the lots was a batch of pretty red wheats. I posted that I would like to win them and update my ancient wheat book, possibly motivating me to update the rest of the book.... Well, what do you suppose showed up in my mailbox a week later? That has to be the most generous man this side of the Mason-Dixon line.... So, I spent a little time updating the book this afternoon.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before....</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1703561[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1703556[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And after...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1703558[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1703559[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1703560[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sure does make a difference!
