Yeah. I don't recall whether it came in the cereal box or if I sent a
quarter off somewhere with a boxtop.


As kids my sister and I sent in a boxtops and receiver silver dollars.
She got a 1929 and I got an 1882. I still have mine 50 years later.
Don't say anything, but I think if I checked my collection, I probably
have hers also. :-)
I collected coins when I was about 7 to 12 years old. I had old coins
then, now they are fifty years older, might be fun to get them out and
check.
Man, where did 50 years go.
