I had a small pile of bags used for the state and national parks quarters and I was looking for something creative to do with them.
I sent one to "Zippy the Pinhead" cartoonist Bill Griffith and asked him to add a sketch to it. I had him him draw on the back of it in the upside down position since I plan to make a stand that will extend inside it, so it can be displayed.
(Don't worry if the project doesn't make sense - it wasn't supposed to. ).

Here are 2 I use the most!
My CRHunting bags.
I posted my good ones earlier.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Wonder how the Counter Stamped ones were shipped from the people that were in charge of those.

I'm pretty certain that the counterstamped ones were done locally by the individual posts. So, there would have been no shipments of bags of them.
I no longer have the bags but I have these tags that were sewed onto them.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Is this one of the “Rare” over strike bags😉

@78saen So cool....love it when a bag is so specific and dated!!!!!!
@JBK Wow, that's wild, how do you get Bill Griffith to just draw Zippy for you?? That was a perfect bag to use too!!! All I can say is YOW!!!!
A little persuasion in the way of $25 got the job done.
@78saen
I grew up in DeKalb County GA, and I’ve never even heard about a Stone Mt. 50c bag.

30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!
Can you imagine having one of those bags now with original contents?
@coinguy82 That is a smart bag from Clarke County Bank, canvas and zippered!!!
Here are a few that are a little tougher
Here's a "Fragment" of the historical bank bag!
Just purchased this today.
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!

Finally! One with color!!!
Found this bag of Morgans in the safe I helped open for the heir of a recently-deceased person.

Not mine, thought it was cool.
Maybe those bright colors were dyed bags?? And @Goldbully 's find looks like it was a saddlebag almost, dragged along on the Pony Express!!!
