And these coins were not junk.

VF and above all of them.

The only justice we got was that the pawn broker went out of business very fast when it got around what he had done.

No way he thought those coins were legitimate.

My old coin collection book of 50 cent pieces is sitting in my garage, untouched for almost 50 years. (Yes, I feel kind of guilty.)

After visiting the coin shop and its display case, I am inspired to dig it out.

Even at only 22 x face, each coin is $11. And many of mine were BU or U at the time. Ten is $110, and I have more. But converting to paper is a loser, so ...?

And gas was about 30 cents when I collected them. And it has been over $6 lately. So that’s about 20 times.

Maybe that coin book kept pace with inflation.

Next concern is that 1099-K form and $600.
