I remember when gold was $35 per oz and you could get Morgan and Peace dollars for face value from the bank. I remember when Mercury Dimes, buffalo nickels, SLQ's, and WLH's were easily found in change. I remember the hoopla when the reverse of the Lincoln cent was changed to the Lincoln Memorial. Dang I'm old.

@PerryHall .... I remember all those things as well.... we are likely very close to the same age....Chronologically, we have accumulated years... but I refuse to get old.... Well, as long as I can fight it, I will... Cheers, RickO

We are the same age.
To me it feels as if I've reached the top of the roller coaster before the plunge.
