<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 793483, member: 10103&quot;]I own a summer place in upstate NY.&nbsp; Years ago we moved a lot of our excess stuff up there, you know, old furniture and the like.&nbsp; The more to make the place feel habitable.&nbsp; Along with all of that stuff was a wooden box that contained some old coins that I&#039;d gathered as a young lad.&nbsp; Mostly old Lincolns and Jeff&#039;s in the form of rolls, along with a lot of mercury dimes.&nbsp; I really never thought very much about those coins,&nbsp; After all, they were just excess.&nbsp; Stuff that I collected as a kid and was just relocating to a spot where, as a collector, I could look at them in leisure on a warm summers night.&nbsp; I never gave that stuff a second thought....till the place was broken into.&nbsp; The contents of that box were stolen.&nbsp; Never to be returned.&nbsp; The local cops were sympathetic, but in the end nothing was recovered.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I miss those coins.&nbsp; They were gathered when I was very young and before I re-discovered coin collecting.&nbsp; I&#039;ll never know what those rolls contained.&nbsp; I kick myself for being so stupid as to place a &quot;collection&quot; in harms way.&nbsp; Stupidity in classifying a box of &quot;old&quot; coins as excess.&nbsp; I&#039;m still payin&#039; that one off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
