Mudd's Bag of coins
- Thread starter Mud-puppy
- Start date
Hmmm, this quote make me suspicious:
The mint never ever put coins in rolls, only bulk bags. Coins were not rolled until the early 1900's and then it was by banks and later by armored car companies. They could have been hand wrapped in paper prior to that but not by the mint. The first patented coin wrapper rolling machine was in 1913. If there were hand wrapped rolls from the 1800's the paper would be so brittle now they would probably crumble when handled. Sounds like a great find but I wouldn't get my hopes up of finding something like this:
Good luck and keep us posted!

Cut with the negative chatter you jamokes! Your gonna qveer the deal! If you cant rip off your Family, who can you rip off? They rarely press charges!
Besides, He deserves it! He has been mercilessly teasing me and through association all of YOU about the stupid hobby of Metal Detecting! "Hey, didja find any pennies lately?' That kind of thing.... I had to tolerate it all last night as well as listen to his political convictions which I dont share at all but had to pretend I do!
You'd be proud of me I think...Taking the abuse in good humor as he dishes it out, agreeing with all his World views and tolerating his ignorance like a fellow traveller...til its time to slam the gaff home, rip him up on the bank and stomp on his head good and proper!!
He was too smart or scared to bring the sack of coins along...I'm trying to negotiate a casual reciprocal invite over to his house to take a look....I need a commitment for a potential sale though, so that may be all I get this weekend for my effort and trouble...He has ulterior motives..a real cheapskate too...
Luckily, He is NOT a handyman and I of course, am...I will have to fix something for sure just to get an invite...might just be a garbage disposal or garage door or pool heater or something easy...So yeah...still working it, he hasnt nibbled the hook yet, but hes certainly eyeballing the bait hard!...! Fingers crossed, and gaff ready!
He's peacefully napping now, after the 5 course breakfast I made this morning...I didnt even get to go detecting! I had to get up and make him blueberry freaking pancakes! Maybe I should just sneak up there and unplug his C-pap machine, smother him with a pillow, take his wallet and call it a day? Advice?

Hmmmm, I don't know, Mudd might be pulling our legs, it's not the first of his practical jokes, I read about the wife trouble digging obsession goof recently.
I bet these are his coins...

Oh Man Oh Man!! Keep a cool head Mudd! I found myself holding my breath just reading your post!
When you are trading horses and have a real "mark" on the line you don't bring out out the one you really want to sell him first.
I think you have enough barter sense and horse trader in you to pull this off so both parties are satisfied they got the best of the deal.
Please keep us posted!!

Well yeah, funny you mention that Bartering thing Ed...We were watching some show on the History channel this morning, it was about the End of The World from a virus or EMP or some damn thing...Total breakdown of Society....He mentioned if something like this ever happened, he would be coming over here on account of I have enough skills to keep him alive! And I do! So maybe I'll work that angle instead of paying him cash?
That sack of silver will do him no good sitting there in his Safety Deposit box! I'll barter that for the trade! Payment up front! I can always kill him later right? If Society crashes? Especially if theres no law and order? Zero risk or expense on MY part!
I dont want to really go fix a garage door that has torsion springs...I've been lucky so far dealing with these contraptions, but you know those torsion springs! Just one slip and a guy will be spitting out teeth like a box of chicklets!

watch those springs
I had to put new torsion springs on my garage door after one broke. I had one almost cranked up and it got loose, luckily didn't break my finger, but it did hurt for a while.
You sure your BIL and sister are not playing you? They keep you dreaming of the bag of silver, and get lots of free handyman work.

Take a page from the Felix the Cat Bag of Tricks, where's the contest for the total of this sack, Face vs numismatic value? And of course a "Mud Puppy" Prize! I shudder to imagine what you may come up with....

I've found your major flaw mud.... You see I have to meet my mom up in Grandrapids tomorrow to pick up my son who was up with her for a week up by Petoskey. Now you realize every vehicle from Illinois up to grandrapids that has the rear end sagging (I grew up in Michigan so I know what's more than normal!) from a massive bag of silver coins in the back I'm going to have to hijack. And you know I will keep my eye out for the license plate number "mud BIL". You better say a prayer that they get there before I get to you precious silver. Heck it may be in your best interest to meet and escort them to your place. Loose lips sink ships buddy and you posted it on the inter-web! I'm mad maxing my car now for the big day tomorrow. Now your understand my user name!
