OK - so I made my impulse purchase. Now what do I do with it??
Picked them up at a coin show last week... just seemed too cool to pass up. I originally thought that I will search the cents for the doubled die... and the nickels for errors, full steps, etc. But when I got them home, I became conflicted on whether I really want to open or search them (the nickels are Mint sealed; the cents were opened, probably back in 1960 to look for small dates). Oh well, guess I can use them for a door stop. Or, I can just toss them into my Scrooge McDuck vault along with the bins filled with gold, etc.. (yeah right).
Post your impulse buy! Or am I the only one who makes them?!

I've never pulled the trigger on a mint sealed bag, but I'm weakening as time goes on. Darm neat bags.

Bought one of the cent bags on a whim in the late 1980's before I even had a clue what to look for in it.
(My ex-wife would have hit me over the head with it but she could barely lift it.)
There is nothing like the sound of mint state coins rubbing against each other

Easy. Just fling a handful out the door whenever a Trick-or-Treater comes by in a couple weeks.
My icon IS my coin. It is a gem 1949 FBL Franklin.

My mother-in-law would say "Enjoy it in good health".

I would have to say those are always good words to live by!
Hoard the keys.
Can't say more about that.
But, science doesn't lie (when fully presented)

PS - Really cool stuff BTW, and I would probably leave the closed bag closed. Makes better dreams at night. Do I make impulse purchases...no, I take advantage of an opportunity I may not be full prepared for quickly if the numbers are obvious and I am certain or thereabouts, but thats about it.
* Tidy House was sold to Arm & Hammer, I believe in 1969.
thanks for the trip down memory lane
