Definitely the picture of a YN with the coin fever....
Cheers, RickO
You know, I forgot about those episodes. Thanks for the links @yosclimber ... I love this stuff.
I remember those......Too bad today's shows don't put such things into the limelight.
And the mention of poor Mr. Wilson's coin being counterfeit!
Watch the Dennis the menace movie in the 90s. Mr Wilson was a numismatist and hid his coins behind a sweet fake row of books.
BHNC #248 … 140 and counting.
I am old enough to remember watching the original episode on TV.

Just remember to stay off our lawns.
Jay North as Dennis the menace
Where's Dennis, Martha?
The club wants to know before this flower starts its blooming.
Good movie also.
Pardon me for saying, I just cannot imagine what Dennis would be portrayed as now!

Didn’t one of Mr. Wilson’s prize coins wind up in a vending machine?
For a slightly different era, who remembers the 3 legged buffalo on Silver Spoons? Link to one old thread
I remember when Barney got fooled by Andy with the wrong way facing Buffalo Nickel.
I believe on one of the old I love Lucy shows, Lucy and Myrtle (?) got a red book and started looking through cents. They found, I think, a 14-D and then dropped it into the sewer grate by accident and the rest of the show centered on them trying to get the coin back. I think, at that time it was worth either 14 or 40 dollars. My memory is cloudy.
