<p>[QUOTE="whopper64, post: 3447345, member: 101364"]When I was a kid in the '50's my father ran a neighborhood grocery store. We delivered free to the old people in the area, and I was the delivery boy. Many times old ladies would let me reach in their huge glass jars for small change as a tip. I picked out quite a few indian head cents over the next 5 years. My mistake was giving them to my father for change in shiny new pennies (his idea, not mine). Years later, he sold those old indian head pennies for a good chunk of change, none of which I saw. But I still think back to those days when old ladies had no idea of the value of old coins and just threw them in those huge old glass jars. Ah, the memories![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
