Warren Exchange

Not a … but something straight out of the mailbox!

From legendary artist Will Schaff — who just so happens to live right up the street from the shop.

I’ve been a fan for 17 years since I got here in Warren… and I finally got a piece.

Check out I have wanted a piece of for a looooong time! Grab one if he is still taking orders!

This isn’t just mail… it’s art.

Since the Olympics are underway, here’s something that came across the counter — 1996 Atlanta Olympic Gymnast Barbie.

Fun fact… I was actually at the Atlanta Olympics and watched volleyball in person. What a moment in history.

And speaking of history — congratulations to Team USA Women’s Hockey bringing home gold! 🥇

Women’s hockey didn’t even become an Olympic sport until 1998. That first-ever gold medal team? Seven players were from Providence College.

Seven.

Over a third of the roster.

And I graduated from PC the year they sent those 7 Friars to the Olympics.

Pretty incredible legacy.

From Atlanta ‘96 to Nagano ‘98… to today.

USA all the way. 🇺🇸🔥

Customer walks in with a vintage monkey bank…
Still sealed with masking tape from the 1970s.

I offered to buy it before opening — hoping for some silver treasure inside. 🪙✨
He didn’t want to gamble… so we cracked it open right here at the counter.

Drumroll…

Pennies. Almost all slimy pennies. 😂

He goes, “Well… they’re all uncirculated coin.”

Sir.

If you’re pulling coins out of a monkey’s backside,
those might be the MOST circulated coins there can be. 🙈💀

We both got a good laugh.

Moral of the story:
Sometimes it’s a mystery pull…
Sometimes it’s 47 years of copper disappointment.

Either way — we’re opening it at the counter.
