Coffee or tea, the sterling is just as sweet.

That's awesome!!!! I want it!! Congrats! How much does it weigh? Although I'm sure it's worth way over melt. I'd throw up! (I get too over excited on that stuff) did the cashier question it? I guess not! Hech if a score!

Yes I have been. Let's hope it lasts! My wife thinks I need an intervention.

If you do, that set would pay for it, along with a good bit of therapy. Gotta be worth close to a grand.

The only way to invest in silver imo. Way cheaper then bullion.

I can't believe folks still find rarities in rolls of coins. I guess I need to try it sometime. I have the time to look when I'm on the road sitting there flipping channels in a motel room. The last pre 64 quarter I got in change was a long time ago now. It was at a happy hour in Phoenix bar and I herd the sound as the barmaid dropped the change back on the bar. The other comrades I was with I had to explain to why that quarter was special. They had no clue dimes and quarters were once all silver.

I would not waste my time looking at anything but halves and with halves I would not bother ordering boxes. Just ask banks for rolls and loose ones. Once in a while you will get lucky.

While I love CRH, if you do the math you are probably better off collecting cans for recycling.

I think the pot is from turn-of-the-century and the rest probably 20s. The monograms on the pot and saucers don't match so it is an assembled set.
