The next step

The next step

So I'm sure everyone here has had this thought... My daughter has outgrown her 24v RZR (the older two seater with the full roll cage) I've replaced the motors, swapped to lithium batteries... She's just bored of it. She has found its limitations, and although she can whip it around a ragdoll, she wants to be able to explore the woods and property more and charge less.

My question for everyone here is, what's next? I'll keep the RZR for her little brother since he's on an m18 swapped gator for now. Do I get her a small bore ATV? A go kart? I'm not looking to drop $2k right away but it kind of feels like that's where this is heading.

For reference, she is 5 years 4 months old and 40ish pounds.

All aboard the grandparents' hoard

I know a few of these bills have value over face, but does anything warrant getting appraisal? These were inherited from my grandparents and there are a few WW2 "victory" dollars with writing on them that were included in letters home which I will slab for future generations to see and learn from.

There is a lot more than this in the pile, but I am still sorting everything out and these were in some of the best shape. These were not stored well and I'm amazed they're in the condition they are. I freaked out when I found some colonial notes, only to find an envelope titled "reproduction colonial money" as I dug deeper into the pile a half hour later.

UNC Morgan Promotion

So, after a little googling, I found that this was a promotion from the Tidy House company for buying four of their cleaning products and mailing in your proof of purchase. I know that this has been faked, and to some people being in it's original cardboard advert holds a collectible premium. I have no doubt this one is authentic, because it was also in the original envelope with my grandmother's home address from 30 years ago.

I think Morgans were given out between 1966 and 1967 which just blows my mind. Apparently the owner of the company was a big coin collector and wanted to grow the hobby for others.

As much as I would like to get this graded, would they be able to slab it in such a large format?

Does anybody have an idea of its value ungraded?
