Hi guys,
My wife and I decided to drive across state to our nearby neighbors in Indiana.
To continue our vacation, we wanted to go to Michigan City. For many reasons.
Esp for me! Lol.
To visit this one Antique shop that had many coins and currency. Plus, to purchase two bank boxes, Nickels/Cents, from another state's bank.
While we were at, "The Antique Market",

we seen some awesome old school items! Here are a few we viewed and purchased. Enjoy!








The world's largest chimney? Lol


Here are the two items we purchased.
One for my grandson and one for me!


My only coin purchase.
An expensive wheat roll!

Sure, $11, is quite high. But I figured, it's worth a shot for a variety or two? However, look what was on the end when I opened!

Haven't check the rest yet.
Then, my Indiana bank boxes.

I'll give ya guys a heads up, what I might find worth mentioning.
Thank You.

    When I first read “But I figured, it's worth a shot for a variety or two? However, look what was on the end when I opened!” I thought your picture was going to show a roll of useless tokens. Glad it was better than expected and there is at least one Indian Head Cent. Curious to hear/see what else is in that roll.

    American antique stores always look like rummage sales compared to their English counterparts. You can occasionally find something good, but for the most part they are more like garage sales.

    I love antique shops. Success on your roll seaches.

    That roll is a good business model - add 85 cents of good cents to the 48 cents worth of other cents, keep you coming back for more hoping for a score. Seller makes an $8 or so profit on each roll.
