[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 247866, member: 8012"]True, the results are better - but only for the quarter. Of course, we are talking 25 years ago rather than 40 years ago. It'll be interesting.

In "the good old days", if you said that you were going to put a few aside because they might be valuable some day, that meant a few COINS.
