I wish you luck but from my experience it's usually a hoard of Ike and Kennedy clad circulated. For some reason people saved the heck out of them around 1976. Lol. Happens every time to me.

The box o' coins on their way to NJ likely fell off the truck on the interstate (unsecured rear cargo door), and tumbled down an embankment, into a dense thicket. In the dark of night. Unseen.

Nope. No coins yet. I'll post photos of the "bags" when I get them and a list of what I've been sent. I'll take detailed pics of anything interesting.

I'm trying to figure out a nice way of asking her to HURRY UP! I've got a bad case of isolation fatigue and you can only watch all 17 seasons of Hell's Kitchen so many times before it just kinda all runs together.

There is something alluring to finding a bag of old coins. My wife recently found a box that had not been opened since we moved 20 years ago. In it, a collection of mint sets that I thought had been stolen by the movers (caught one in the act) You will have to tag your first posts so we all know the pictures are from the bag of found coins. Good luck.

HEY! That's IT! Everyone on CCF please call my Aunt at (940) 555-0153* and tell her "we" can wait any longer!




*Just kidding... that's a fake number, but if it takes much longer I WILL send everyone her number in an email.

It's been 2 weeks, but I'm just going to wait. I don't want her to get out and catch COVID-19! I don't feel safe going out so I'm not going to ask anyone I love to put themselves in danger for me.

Stupid Coronavirus!

If they are not coming to you, they are not going anywhere else.
