We were cleaning and reorganizing out the garage yesterday when I ran across a bunch of coins from my father's estate that I was not aware of. 71 1971-S proof sets and 11 1972-S sets. He paid $5 per in 71 and 72. They are now worth $3. When you adjust for inflation that would be about $0.46 in 1971 money.

Numismatics are for the experts. Bullion is for the dilletents who can afford it.

Well, for $5 apiece...
I think they would have been a little more obvious in the garage.

We’ve got old stamp collections, that we’ve moved in boxes forever. Does anybody even collect those anymore?

Ayup!
I use another kind of bullion for curtain and footstool trims.
So much good bullion!
