I hit the big 50 today.

Postby henrysmedford » Sat Jul 23, 2011 6:52 am

I am fifty today. And I would say the best gift of this year is being part of this group. I started just to post my sons Franklin's finds he has autism. Sorting cents he loves to do he likes the finds and opening the rolls. Before this group I would just dump back to the bank all that he did not keep. After reading the post here I now see that it is worth saving the copper we now have a Rydale sorter and save/trade the copper. Franklin first opens the rolls hand sorts then I run it through the sorter and resort some days Franklin misses a lot of finds. Franklin loves this group he always it saying tell my members. So at this point I am hooked as much as he is. Also I and the wife and couple went to dinner and here is the card I got.

And you show the card to your son Theodore and he makes this--

Sorry for the double post on the card. Also thanks to all the members who have helped my son out and the members who keep up these list.

you ought to run them through the ryedale first, and then have him look through the copper for wheats and the zinc for old wheats and IH

Good guys Joe (wow half a century, five decades)

Nick(33 may you still have more road ahead than behind)

Happy Birthday. They're nice to have on a Saturday.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.
