A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Mack, I'm not sure, but in '61 - '63 eras, this place may have been a pretty decent coin shop. Without too much money, a THS student could buy over one-hundred year old items like silver three cent pieces and half-dimes, the selling price being much more than five cents, for sure.
One day, the collection turned up in a 803 S. Clinton butcher and candy shop, having been converted into into bubble gum by my younger brother. ;-)
Hi SJ.
I find a PRINCETON STAMP & COIN SHOP at 543 Hamilton in 1963 owber Charles Windham (who lived in Titusville at that time).
Thanks! that was the place! Looks like I was off by a few doors. The coin shop was nice place to stop on the way home, to delay beginning homework. Jimmies Camera Shop was another of those places.
Ben's Aquarium on Rusling Street also sold coins for a while.
