Trip & Plan produced results
Took a trip to nearby New York to pic up a couple of boxes that I had ordered a week prior. The manager asked me if I was a coin collector or something. I told him that I am l and he mentioned that he collects pennies. Well whadaya know, I just happened to have a couple of Indian Heads in my pocket. As I put the I-heads in his hand to get a better look, I asked him if he has ever come across any of these. " WOW! A penny from the 1800's! This is amazing, I have never seen one of these before." I told him to keep it. He tried to refuse but I insisted. As I bid him farewell, he told me that he has something for me as well. "Wait right here!" he said. I placed the 2x boxes on the counter and thought to myself how funny it would be if the Indian-Coin trick might actually work. The manager comes back from the vault and hands me 11x Walkers and 3xBens. I told him that they were pretty cool looking coins and he then told me with a grateful smile that they are now mine. After a bit of chit chat he took my info and said he would keep all of the halves in the vault for me as well as any foreign or strange coins that come in. Little did I know that he would call me the next day to pick up a few things that had just come in. I will find out what he has for me tomorrow and post the results.
So the moral of the story is that it is good to trade - especially with the Indians.
