When the Time Comes To Downsize

What this Old Gun Collector did When the Time Came to Downsize

With age, there comes a time when you reevaluate certain things in your life. My wife and I were recently updating our wills when it occurred to me that my gun collection would likely be a burden to her in the event that something happened to me.

1946-1964

When Is A Dime Worth Two Dollars?... When it's a Roosevelt Dime minted from 1946-1964 or, it was invested in the right gun during that time. In 1965 our government began making dimes out of copper-nickel and S&W began making guns out of stainless steel.
