junior e Pillar of the Community United States 931 Posts	Posted 05/16/2011 12:42 pm Back in those days Topp's had a great marketing idea. The cards were released in seven series throughout the year and Mickey Mantle was in the seventh series, so you would buy cards all year looking for a Mantle card. They finally came out around lat August. I got two of them and luckily hung on to them. I think the US Mint pulls some similar marketing tools even today. Report this Post to the Staff

In fairness, most of them can narrow the choice down to the football team or basketball squad, and a few don't have to come back more than a half dozen times to find a match.

We have a little star chart and when he accumulates some stars he can pick something out. I told him he could have anything he wants for $2 or less. The Dollar Tree is your friend.

There's a big difference between "in circulation" and "returned to circulation". A 1941 dime found in change has not been "in circulation" and no one noticed it for 70 years. A far more likely scenario is it was removed from circulation 40+ years ago, and was "returned to circulation" by someone who either inherited or stole it, and wanted nicotine, alcohol, gas or food more than "a bunch of old coins".

True enough, Fred, but then, circulation IS circulation. If that dime is not circulating at all, then it will never be found as change. I do know what you mean about coins that have been in a collection for many years and then are inherited or stolen by someone who knows or cares squat about them, other than as pocket money.
