<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2063196, member: 17665&quot;]I was very fortunate to start in 1966. There were still lots of Merc&#039;s, Roosies and silver Wash. in circulation and lots of wheaties, and I think only because I lived in a very rural area where money tended to stay in local circulation. Even Buffalo nickels were common for a few years. I was able to fill in a lot of holes in my folders early on. My paper route (Grit) and selling seeds door to door also yielded a lot of older folks stash to me also. A little old lady, Peg, used to pay me in old postage stamps for cleaning her yard. Her husband was a collector and had lots of old mint stamps he never used but had died years earlier. On summer vacation, I worked with my Dad on his boss&#039;s farm scraping manure from under the cows all day and his boss paid me fifty cents a day with a silver Franklin half dollar until he ran out of them eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
