One to bust open and one to keep intact. Report this Post to the Staff

insideout Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 11/06/2010 05:16 am Well I bought 2 proof sets today 1988 and 1985. Found them easy to crack with a razor knife and flat tip screwdriver. Paid $7 for each and added 2 new coins to each of my albums. Trying to figure out what to do with the other 6 coins. Have them 2x2ed and in the trade off pile. Looking them up on the auction I would ahve spent close to $7 just for the Lincolns and still had to but the Jeffersons Report this Post to the Staff

insideout Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 11/08/2010 4:32 pm Well it fills a slot in each of the albums. Although I was hoping the trading of the other coins would work a bit easier. May have to auction them. But i'd rather swap them for others I need. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 190564 Posts	Posted 11/09/2010 11:47 am I understand, we all have to make sacrifices! We should consider ourselves fortunate to have what we have, with our collections and our better halves.
