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

Way to go, Dave! It sounds like you kept your eyes peeled, your ears open,
and your hands ready to grab those goodies!
BTW, I've never seen a mint bag. If you have a photo, please post. Thanks!

Auntie was looking for doubled dies in the day, wasn't she?
