  • Welcome!!! Don't collect those Franklins to be on anyones good side.
    They aren't worth going out of your way for. Stick to the silver dollars......Ken

    Welcome aboard.

    If you collect frankies then you're already on Lucy's good side. Just don't snipe
    any of her coins if you want to stay there.

  • So... which pawn shops do you frequent to buy coins from? The ones on Curry Ford Rd or the ones along Colonial? I never found but one coin shop when I lived there, and they closed up years ago.
