I got a lot of my coins at Robinson's, too! It was mostly at the one in Pasadena, though. The last coin my mom bought me was a MS-64 1876 20-cent piece at the Downtown Robinson's. It's worth more than a pretty penny now.

That’s a real beauty. I have a twenty cent as well, but I don’t recall the year or the condition. It’s one of those coins along with the half-cent, two-cent, and two types of three-cent coins, which most people never knew we even had. Add in half-dimes and of course gold coins and the history if our change is quite interesting. And some are true works of art, but all were developed with enormous skill by the designers and engravers.
