<p>[QUOTE="sluggo4787, post: 7598901, member: 35661"]I have been a collector all my life. I would wait for my father to finish reading at the time a news paper like edition of COIN WORLD. I will never forget reading about the 1955 doubled die roll for fifty dollars a roll. I was left a thousand dollars from a Great Aunt and asked my dad to take a hundred dollars and buy me two rolls, he told me it would stay in the bank earning 1 percent. It took me years to find 100 doubled die cents. Not near as pretty i am certain as the 100 i would have received from COIN WORLD.</p><p> So what do i do with this fortune? I have contacted several companies who want not only these two rolls but the five thousand doubled die i have collected. Problem with this they will rob you if you allow them to low ball your collection. You can read about me - i am in seven books under CHATHAM PROTOTYPE- just type it in and i will come up - its a good read. There is a time to collect and there is a time when you have toooo much, which means you should have sold and bought, ten 10x10 bank box's will do me no good when i am dead, best to have allow someone to offer a fair price and get it out there for collectors to love and collect them. Not bragging but simply saying some of us collectors get a little to carried away in collecting. Turn it lose while your still alive- chuck[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
