A Halloween Treat Remembrance

When I was a child,oh so long ago,when we trick/treated in our neighborhood we not only got candy. Sometimes we were invited into the home (see how often that happens today) for a donut/ cup of cider. But the best part came when we were invited to take some cents (or pennies if you prefer) from a tray, lined up on a tray, instead of candy. I always wondered later on in life if a 55/55 or some such rarity slipped through my grasp. Did you ever experience some such occurence coin wise?

ended up with several Lincolns in my trick or treat bag.
As a kid I always took a ribbing around halloween and was referred to as the trick that was played on my parents.
Funny what kids can dream up.
Maby I'll post a birthday coin on the 30th.

Imagine getting a Whitman coin folder as a treat - I did!

that would ask us kids in for a apple cider. Then instead of candy or money, each kid was
sent home with a huge bag or wooden crate (if you could carry it) of back yard harvested
fruit, and vegetables. There was always a candied apple on top. And also a bar of fruit
chips dipped in chocolate...nuts like walnuts and pecans! Grapes of every color!
WE LOVED going to this neighborhood home!
I think our parents loved it as well!
