Famous coin collector Buddy Ebsen has died...

3 posts in this topic

he was 95. He had a great coin collection, including a Coiled Hair Stella and many Capped Bust halves. When he last married, his new wife want to travel with him, so he sold his collection to pay for the traveling. He'll be best remember for making us laugh in his nine years as Jed Clampett. (When Jed saw a rare dime- it might have been an 1894S- Jed said words to the effect that "He got slickered! A dime's only worth ten cents!" I guess Jed would really hate "top pop" modern coins!}

Jed might have tried to spend the 1894-S dime and there'd have been heII to pay when it wouldn't work in a vending machine.
