I will be recruiting YN this Halloween

I have a cigar box full of wheat pennies-many in fairly good shape but nothing rare. This Halloween I will be passing them out with the normal candy in hopes that maybe it will put a spark in a young kids eye and stimulate some interest in a YN. We normally have from 75-100 kids during the evening so hopefully please a few. Anyone else doing anything similar to help out YN?

    I remember the highlight of my trick-or-treating every year was recieving buffalo nickels on them. Didn't get me into collecting at the time but i still have every one that i recieved!
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    So you're going to let every kid in your neighborhood know that you're a coin collector? Hopefully none of them will tell an older brother with a crack habit.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    The trouble is drug use is not limited to just the ghetto. Crime is everywhere.

    If a dude is giving out pennies for halloween, i wouldnt be worried.

    Golden dollars or Ragbucks...then I'd worry about the word getting around lol.
