Definitely the picture of a YN with the coin fever.... Cheers, RickO

I remember those......Too bad today's shows don't put such things into the limelight.

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.

Just remember to stay off our lawns.

Where's Dennis, Martha?
The club wants to know before this flower starts its blooming.

Good movie also.

For a slightly different era, who remembers the 3 legged buffalo on Silver Spoons? Link to one old thread

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.
