<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3006881, member: 92655&quot;]In our late fifties, my wife and I adopted two babies in a moment of senility. So rarely is there time to enjoy my collection. Sunday afternoon birthday party and I am left alone for a few hours and out came my hoard.</p><p><br /></p><p>I been collecting since the 1970’s. As I look at the mounds before me it occurs to me that I have two collections. My kid collection. And my adult collection. The prime pieces in my adult collection reside in a safe deposit box that I am unable to enjoy at home. Have to rethink that.... But I stray.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a coin hoarder. I have bags of silver dimes/quarters. Bags of no date buffalos. Rolls... Many rolls of Average to cull Peace and Morgan’s. I have three rolls of Ike’s (why??) not to mention untold rolls of wheats, and the bane of my dilemma.... Rows and rows of my “kid coins”. Just worn flat Indians, V-nickels and the like. The stuff that sits in a dealers twenty-five cent junk box.</p><p><br /></p><p>So this thread is me committing to phase out the mounds of kid coins. The stuff that’s just not worth trying to sell but consumes a third of my safe..... This is hard for a hoarder to do, mind you. But do it I must!</p><p><br /></p><p>I want to dispose of this in a way that may spark the next generations interest. Was thinking I would tell the local grade school to maybe pass them out to students for exceptional report cards. Maybe let the baseball coach pass them out for great plays... Also thought I may just slip a few back into circulation and see if I read about them here. Anyway, I would appreciate suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
