I used to collect the state quarters, but had hard times and cashed them all in!

I have a little collection of OLD pennies and silver coins from my almost 12 years working as a cashier. Its funny what you will find from time to time.

I also have a box of OLD foriegn coins. keep meaning to look them up to see how much they are worth, I kinda find this funny because I was thinking about this last night, and today this topic pops up. Maybe Ill ebay em lol

My first husband was the biggest coin collector ever.

On our first date he took me to a coin show.

I was so bored out of my mind. Here we were standing looking at a coin for like 15 minutes, just staring at it. I couldn't stand the boredom.

So what did I do? I FAINTED!!!

I woke up and they had me on a chair , holding my head down.

At least that got him out of the coin show. LOL

Now you know what happens if I get too bored.

Evenin all My father in law is really BIG into coins. In the 8 years I've known him he has taught me alot about double stamping and where the mints come from. I dont actually collect them myself but if I find something I think may be of value I tuck it away for my next trip to Florida for an "In-Law-Appraisal"

well, I have 180+ coins from around the world some dating back to the late 1800's.

I was thinking of doing a mystery coin box type auction, but I dont know if it would get any attention
