If you worry about all the things you don't know about, you will end up in a fog of going through the same coins over and over worrying about what you might have missed, when you probably didn't miss much of anything the first time through them.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 9:56 pm Okay -- I hoard coins, but I don't think I have enough to get on that show! My husband has always kept his pocket change in cans and jars. He would haul them to the bank once in awhile. So now they're mine! And yeah, I've been through one can of coins exactly three times. But I just started this last year and I didn't know anything or have any books....so I don't expect I'll be going through any future cans of coins three times. But I have to admit that for the past year, I wasn't ready to let anything go. Report this Post to the Staff
