Geocache Description:

The cache is an easy location, the puzzle is the tough part.

The coordinates on this cache page are not the location of the cache, but is a great place to get change for a dollar and you can start your own coin collection. The actual cache is within 3 miles.

There is a difference between a coin collector and an accumulator.

An accumulator is one who puts away coins in containers, keeps aside neat or interesting items, or amasses great quantities of coins that pique their interest.
A coin collector is a numismatist. One who studies coins and people associated with them. They enjoy the history, the art, and the value of coinage. They read and retain facts about mintages, strike qualities, and American events that caused the coin to be or not to be minted. They then place the coins in an orderly fashion in books, flips, or slabs to protect them.

This cache was created for the Merit Badge Challenge GC19R3J and Boy Scouts must study coin collecting and write reports to earn this badge. You may not have to do an essay, but you will have to do a little research to find the coordinates for this cache.

Some hints may be added now and then, but please remember, I made this a 5 difficulty. You need to figure out what I'm thinking to get the coords.

Use the photos below to get the coords:
