<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 7166095, member: 111067&quot;]Bear with me as a non American. </p><p>After arriving in Philly and hiding my time machine, I make my way to the nearest saloon. I find the rear entrance and appropriate 10 empty corked bottles. Having noticed on the way a large trough for watering horses, I wait till the coast is clear and fill the bottles. In a busy section of town I switch to actor mode and, preceeding Clark Stanley by a good few years, knowing that the first judgement against the legitimacy of the product wouldn&#039;t be until 1907, I sell my bottles of miracle cure snake oil for 50 cents a bottle.</p><p>After a great lunch and a wonderful ale I start a conversation with a mint employee about purchasing some of their coinage. Affecting a rather eccentric, fussy attitude, I whisper to him enjoyment of collecting but must have the best examples he can provide of silver proof 3 cent and half dimes. The better the condition, the better the &quot; finders fee &quot; he would surely earn, showing him the 5 dollars in change I acquired earlier. after acquiring some choice pieces and for the hell of it some 5 cent &quot; pattern &quot; nickles &quot;, I casually make my way back to the machine and get the hell out of there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
