I'll take a coin over a relic any day. Why? Because the coin has a date (at least most do) and I don't have to guess how old it is. Gary
All coins have value. It's printed right on most of them. Little works of art.
Relics - some are useful but many are where they are because someone didn't want them at the time.
That's a good point. I am of an age when Mercury (Liberty Head) Dimes and silver quarters were still occasionally in circulation and I scrutinized my paper route and pocket change.
