o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 8:19 pm The amount of time and energy this would take is enormous. We are basically looking at this man's life in the form of coins. Both impressive and cautionary. I hope he has found peace with whatever prompted him to amass such a collection. Report this Post to the Staff

I wonder if at one time he had a plan to use the pennies for some type of grand creative project, that never came to pass. I'm reminded of the Glass House in BC, built with 500,000 embalming fluid bottles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gla...sh_Columbia) Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 08/29/2016 8:56 pm Knowing Real , .............. He had a blast. This hoard is living proof that you can do coins any way you wish. There is no right or wrong way to accumulate , hoard or collect. THAT is the fun of our great hobby. If you desire 1937 cents fine. If you love Buffalo nickels , great . Want to hoard Morgan's even better! There is another guy in Victoria who has a great hoard of hundreds of 1908 5 Cent Silvers including Large and Small 8 as well as at least a dozen Specimens. His Grandfather was born that year. The second part of the hoard is about Five hundred 1925 nickels , many in super condition ExF to MS63. As I recall the significance was that was the year the family came to Canada. Now that's a good use of ADHD. Why buy one when hundreds will do! Report this Post to the Staff

I suppose buying only the same thing over and over has it's advantages in terms of limited options - but for sure the problem arises, after the first 100 or 500 or 2000, what's 1 or 100 more. Imelda Marcos probably thought the same of her shoes! Report this Post to the Staff
