roll hunting the 1960's

i was talking to my dad about roll hunting. he was telling me stories about roll hunting when he was a kid. he said he usually did pennies and nickels because he did not have that much money. he said that he used to get rolls of pure wheat's and mostly Buffalo's. he remembered on of the kids for down the street from where he lived found a 1909s VDB. after i was done talking to my dad he gave me is old coin book from is older brother. it was 1961 blue book(i think). i was looking at the prices in there....wow there low. its like .11 for a seated dime in XF-40. the most socking one was the 1804 silver dollar. it was $5,000 for proof. not its 4,000,000!!! i wish he could have bout 4 or 5 of them when he was a kid

i just wish i could go back in time

I'd like to go back in time with a wad of cash and buy every roll of halves I could afford in 1964. Nothing but 90%!!!! Imagine the ratio of Walkers and Franklins back then.

Well in 20, 30, 40 and 50 years people are gonna be saying 'Man if I could only go back to like...2007...and do some CRHing I'd actually be able to find some halves when they had some silver in them! Gee that would be great! If only to go back in time.'

My point is, enjoy the time you have now and get the most of it. You aren't going to go back in time, so just see what all you can get now. Sure it'd be great and it's fun to dream about it, but remember...Carpe Diem.


OK that's enough inspiration from me. Back to more important things...
