[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 989058, member: 57463"]Wells Fargo started up in 1858. (See Wikipedia). In the era of your document, it was in its heyday. Later, it was seized by the government and then re-organized. 1866: 'Grand consolidation' unites Wells Fargo, Holladay, and Overland Mail stage lines under the Wells Fargo name. 1904: A.P. Giannini creates the Bank of Italy in San Francisco. You should buy whatever makes you happy. (And I agree that our wives have different opinions on that than we do.) You know, we coin guys spend four hours in a coin store to save $5 on a coin and think we got a deal, then deride people who pay $5 more for the same item. I buy stock certificates from a wholesaler at 100 for $55. Then, I sell them one up for a dollar to $5, with the higher prices for railroads and such. A friend of mine is a dealer. He buys them from me for a dollar, puts them in a frame and sells them for $15. And there you are. Do you have a source of Wells Fargo receipts at 100 for $55? So, OK, don't buy a hundred of these at $15 each because you can buy frames for less, but, goodness, man, indulge yourself. You deserve it.[/QUOTE]
