BTDT!
I vividly remember some shiesters coming through town many years ago, setting up shop, and advertising how they were gonna make us rich if we cashed in those musty, old coins we had "Laying around in a drawer." Kind of like the gold buyers are doing today.
My dumb butt hauled in a coffee can full of V-nickels and silver dollars and sold them so I'd have money to buy tickets to the Alabama vs Kentucky game. Bear Bryant's 300th win if I remember correctly. I had enough to pay the scalper for the tix for me and buddy, buy concessions and even fill up the gas tank on the car.
And what do I have now from that experience, bitter memories!
I've kicked myself many a time for selling off those coins!
