Had a 10ish kid at the booth today that decided today when he saw a flashy PCGS V nickel that he wanted to collect them.. Susan had a box with some worn ones three for two dollars. I helped him and he bought three, gave me eight quarters of his own money.

Then he came over to the giveaway side and I gave him three more V nickels and a Whitman V nickel folder that members donated.

So he just started today and he's got a folder and filled six holes for $2.

Happy Camper!

Dad,
It is stories such as these that help me to keep the CCF Faith!
That, and the pictures of the winners at the dice toss - puts a lot into perspective for me.
