His grandfather owned a small general store at a cross roads in rural Indiana. He kept a pickle jar with any strange piece of change that he came across. My buddy said it was full, sitting on a shelf somewhere, and that he hadn't gone through it. When my uncle died (actually my grandmothers brother?) he had a change collection and my aunt just hauled it all into the bank in various loads for face value and wouldn't hear otherwise or let the family buy it or anything. She had a burr about something that I never found out about. This is the entirety of my "collection" I've gotten in pocket change. Is it anything?

Also the centennial dime with a salmon on the back. I had to purchase my examples of 1967 quarter, half and dollar silver coins. the quarter has a bobcat on the reverse side, half dollar a howling wolf and the dollar a canadian goose. I do not have the nickel with a hare, I could buy it but it doesn't have precious metal content so the heck with it. Canada made some sweat silver coins back in the day, too bad they have/had a tribute to the monarchy on the obverse. "Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon". Milton Friedman.

We delivered papers when we were little (60's into the 80's) and it got to the point that we were into the hundreds of papers delivered. Sunday alone we delivered 4-5 hundred Harrisburg patriots. Anyhow, you can only imagine the change we got and Sunday afternoons I'd go thru them and pick out the war nickels. I don't know what mom did with them, but I know I filled a bucket with them. I'm gonna guess she still has them somewhere. She saved silver 50 cent pieces, and she had a charge of them too. Still remember going thru change, seperating and putting into sleeves. I would have a talk with her about them if I were you. Otherwise she croaks and one of your siblings or other relatives will suddenly have them. They mean something to you. Not to them.

My buddy showed me about 50 half-dimes (made until 1873) with a hole punched in each and threaded on a wire for safe keeping. His great grandad did it and destroyed any collector value. Oh well..good intentions. ---- CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE----Bye, Bye Miss American Pie----
