I found these folded up in a 1956 Ken Bressett coin guide that I picked up at a estate sale. I found them interesting so I thought I would share them.

    The year before I was born, $250.00 doesn't seem like much now, but back then it was a bunch. I remember my dad told me he bought his first house for $5000.00, the one I lived in till I was three years old in Palo Alto, Calif.. That's about what an uncirculated 3 legged Buffalo nickel cost today...Man I'm getten old....
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    Columns like that were once very common in major newspapers. Do any newspapers still run coin columns?
