Great post and nice scores, too

How old is that Como-Harriet street car token? I didn't catch that you were from the Twin Cities until I saw that in your list and went back to the start of your post. We used to CRH big-time in the early 80s when I lived in Maplewood. We had mom and pop grocery stores where we shopped that would open up the safe and let us swap our searched rolls with theirs each week. Your percentage of wheats and pre-65 Roosevelts now is better than ours was back in the day!

I think it's recent. I tried to research it a bit and sounds like there is still some touristy thing. Probably where it came from.
