OK first off I goofed on my name - I see I put coon verses coin n my name, I am not a coon guy but anyways LOL ..... Started collecting early in 1962ish era .... Mom worked at Space Needle and she was a great waitress and would bring home huge amounts of change daily - I would search for rarities and nice condition coins and still have many of those early finds in my collection .... In 1980 when silver jumped to $50 an ounce I unloaded some $230 face in common date silver - Got a check for $6,100, I still remember dumping Unc rolls of common dates into a bag and heading to the dealer .... Wth them paying 25x face I couldn't pass up and boy did that turn out to be a good move ..... Anyways I have a complete type coin and Lincoln Cent sets, in some high grades and am working on the buffalo set - looking for a 1918/7 and a couple other pieces ..... I'm getting close to retire age at which time I will start selling some of my common stuff and upgrade to higher grade and rarer pieces ..... Longwinded and there's more but why bore you with all the details ..... Best to all in 2016! |

My buddy trapped raccoons, squirrels, etc out of people's attics / wherever and we called him, CoonGuy, so it was ironic I made that goof!
