I collected tons of coins when I was a young fool. Sold most of the good ones in the 1960's when silver prices were high, and any silver dime and quarter were sold for $1.60 per $1 face value. Thankfully I did not sell my silver dollars.
I will always remember the story my father told about the funny looking pennies that he used as change in his grocery store in the mid 50's. He said he had about 10 rolls of the strange looking pennies.
Too bad the double struck pennies are worth $200 to $1000 each now. Do the math
