Interesting Find in a Small Missouri Town
Okay, I am back home after weeks of family business in California, btw I got
80 Ikes, a 1952-D cent, a 1970-S, and a 1971-S while I was out there. So on the way back, I drove, through Salt Lake City, and thence to visit more family in Missouri. My Aunt is a bit of a collector, anything is game for her. So while I was visiting her, we went downtown to look at some of the local shops, I find one with veritable hoard of empty mint bags from the Denver mint in 1974. Now how those ended up there is beyond me, but I know where they are now - With my mint and bank bag collection. All not a bad trip for me numismatically wise. The best part for me though was the Airline History Museum in Kansas City, well worth a visit, if you can find it that is. They have a DC-3, a Martin 404, and a Lockheed Super Constellation from the 1950's there. I also added to my DC-3 parts collection too Dave -- Please see my Numismatic Website; http://www.delta.edu/davidparrish Tir nam Beann, nan Gleann, s'nan Gaisgeach - Saor Alba A-Nis! --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

BTW, I've never seen a mint bag. If you have a photo, please post. Thanks! Larry 'partially deprived of certain numismatic treats' |
