my old coin "stash" finds it way back to me ---
ah my step mother was "cleaning" out some "junk" and ran across a old box of coins that I had in my teens---my dad owned and opertated a bicycle & lawn mower service and repair shop ---as a teen I worked there and earned a few bucks of "spending money"on the side helping pop out in the summer when I wasn't in school --- close to the shop was a old vacant feild where we often went to check out that the blade and belt adjustments were correct on the mowers we fixed ---as I was "test driving " a mower one day I spotted a note book type book -- that had coin pages in it !!!! it was cleaned out mostly there were many of the "paper type coin holder" that had been "punched out" --(the empty holders were for high dollar gold and silver coins) someone had ripped off a rather valuible coin collection --- and stolen most of the "good" coins --- there were 67 lower value coins still left however -- I took them to my dad and showed him ---he made me turn them over to the cops and after a 30 day wait ---they were returned and formed the starting "base" of my coin collection--- a few years later after a bit of fight between my step mother and me I went to live with my mom --- I went to mom's house for "summer vaction" and basically just did not go back ---my coins were packed away and later dad move to a differant house the collection was "lost" in the shuffle---well today it returned -- like a long lost freind---Ivan
