Title: Received some nice coins.
Post by: Triggersmob on December 08, 2007, 11:08:12 PM

At work on Friday, one of the Ladies I work with brought in some coins, She had been collecting them for some time, trying to make up sets for her Grandkids. Anyway, she made up the sets and had a few left over, so she wanted to know if I would like them. Silly Question!

I picked up 4 x 1986 Year of Peace $1 coins UNC, with some slight toning.

Nice one Mate.  I got the summons to the Boss's Office one day.  He asked, "You collect coins I hear"  "Yes Boss" I replied.  "Well" he said, "I'm bringing in my saved coins to bank, go through them, and replace what you find".  This far, I have found a few good $1, including a 2001 upset at 6 O'clock
and the hand cud on the Dancing man.
