In The Corner With Dan Hughes

The regularly-scheduled episode for this week has been put on the back burner because of a tragedy in Texas. Instead of one long show, here are two short ones. Part I - The night after Christmas, a tornado destroyed the home of metal detecting legend Dick Stout.  (I neglected to mention it in the show, but his dogs are fine).  You can help him rebuild at http://tinyurl.com/hmpvolp.  (For more on Dick, scroll down to my show #139.)Part II - The Franklin Mint, the Danbury Mint - private companies that mint coins as instant collectibles.  Good or bad?    I want your stories!  Buzz me at danhughesmail@gmail.com. And if Grandpa and Grandma gave you some Christmas money, you should probably use part of your loot to buy a copy of my book.  Here.  Http://treasuremanual.com.
