DocSSavage Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 09/03/2015 06:22 am I have a friend who owns a small town bank. I have not asked him about coin collecting or broached the question of his knowledge of the coin rolls he has. How should I go about asking him to give me a shot at some of his old stuff if he has some old coin rolls? Report this Post to the Staff
