My Grandpa's Coins

So I'm in Virginia right now and just got bak to my hotel room. My grandpa went to the bank to get some of his old coins from the safe deposit box. So he gave my brother and I a morgan each. I got a cleaned 1896-O. My brother got a nicer AU 1882 which is also cleaned but not as bad. He also gave me a very good looking 1965 Winston Churchill commemorative crown in a cool holder. That one looks to be BU with very nice luster. Overall good stuff!

And because it is from family, Its even better. I'll bet.

 

Cool - the legacy begins. Now in the future you could pass that to your children or grandchildren.

 

Congrats, it's fun to have a little history around that you can share with others.

Did he say whether these were pulled from circulation or if he bought them?

 

hey, anytime that ya get free coins, say: Life is Great!

 

My dad brought the camera I guess so I took some bad pictures in the hotel room with incandescent lights and no tripod. Then I realized there's no cord...

 

Here's what my brother got. My morgan isn't really worth photographing. The churchill photo is on the way.

EDIT: WHY IS THE PICTURE SO SMALL?

 

I don't even want to think about little the_man12's running around CoinTalk.

lol :smile

 

Gifts from family members are always great and will be filled with memories for years to come.

 

If this one is small too, there's something wrong.

 

Yep it's pretty small and when I click on it to enlarge it my screen freezes.

For me it's much easier to store my images on a free site like photobucket.com and copy the link of the image from there and paste it in my posts.

 

Whatever you just did it worked great.

 

wow, your grandpa just gave you and your bro some coins? That is great!
