Not on par with your story, but when I was a young collector is when they quit making coins from silver. Unfortunately, we were not rich (closer to poor than rich) and we didn't just save each and every silver coin. We should have, but didn't predict that silver would increase in price (after not significantly increasing in price for hundreds of years).
Nss, I wish I had thought other things too. I got $300 in face 90% at the bank and never cherrypicked it or looked for key dates. Another huge regret in my life. However the $1400 went towards my future car so worth it I guess
Grape love that you shared the story. Can't say I feel better because you bought Pepsi , couldn't of got a Dr Pepper .. And sometimes we'd kill for caffeine. But if I ever find a Cheerios dollar it's all yours ! As long as you don't spend it on Pepsi
