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.

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