finished!

Just finished filling my Dad's Jefferson folders. I think he would be happy.

The bright, shiney 44S was the last coin. Picked it up yesterday.

The yellow post-it is a note he wrote reminding himself of what he needed. I put the little stars next to each as I found them. He passed away in 2001.

Thanks for looking

Great Job! That's what every father would like to see happen to there collection - passed down and continued by their children.

Nickels are like potato chips - you can't stop with just one. Now on to a collection of your own!

Mark - That's a great tribute to your dad! I am sure he would be very happy to know he passed something on to his son and that you cared enough to finish something he was not able to. Great Job!!!

Amazing to me that collection is truly exceptional just because of the sentiment and the story behind it. Well done.

Thanks everyone.

My Dad started the Roosevelt folders as well. I'll concentrate on filling those holes then start something of my own.
