    Actually some of those coins would be perfect for a young collector. It would be shame just to toss them back into circulation.


    I had a lot like this donated to my local club from an estate. Some of the coins had some PVC issues. I thought about just putting them in the bank as part of the club treasury, but in the end I took the PVC off and started them in the auction (which I run for the club) at face value with the proper descriptions as to what they were. They ended up getting bids and were sold.

    That is pretty cool that the "slabber" put the dates on them.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Looks like he was a regular searcher and recorded the date of the 1st he found in general circulation! Kindda neat glimpse into old time numismatic interests!
