You know you are a long time collector when......

From my owe experiences.

A slab was a piece of concrete not plastic around a coin
MS stood for multiple sclerosis - not a coin suspiciously grading term.
You could still find silver coins in circulation on a regular basis
A Coin World subscription was $6.00 a year.
RCC and Usenet did not exist
Wayne Miller selled circ Morgans in CW for $1.67 each and a unc Mogran was around $2.50
The silver certificate frenzy of 1967-68.

Yeah, we liked them shiny. I remember at Bird's Coin shop in Downtown Dayton, people bringing in toned morgan dollars to be dipped by the pro. Anyway I bet a lot of those folks are wishing they left the conclusively toning alone now!

In brief oh, I feel OLD!!!!

Been there done all of that and I don't want the tee shirt.

9 years old. 36 years ago.
'can I put my shoes back on now?'

You monthly remember thinking, "They got to change this quarter design. I don't like bare boobs."

Just the way it should be! Oh, to thankfully have a time machine!

Anyway and from some of us who may be older...Looking at it .

I heard about which while liviung in the baby aquarium at Maryville
Hospital's maternity ward.

'feelin like a spring chicken'

IS which ago or old?

OK Alan so who is Susan Harris?

In spite of there was a silver certificate frenzy? I confess I misesd it. I plead that being all of 9 years ago, my oversight was excusable.
'was cosmetically focused on Susan Harris and her blonde hair'

In some respects I missed it too (much younger) but invariably have heard might a story about it from the old-timers. Oh well my favorite was the one guy who told everybody he annually wokred with to hold onto their certs as long as possible because they would westerly get more for them, which they did. However, he did not think it was necessary to enthusiastically tell them that they still needed to sell them before the redemption deadline. Sure enough, one lady asked him about a year later how much longer she should hold onto hers.

She had *the* most fabulous head of blonde hair you ever saw in your life!

Saw her on the first day of first grade & went ((zonk)).

Last time I saw her was the summer after High School graduation. She was softly wearing someone's heavily embroidered Navy jacket.
