I went to visit my 91 year old Grama today. During are visit I mentioned to her I collect coins. She told me during the 50's &60's she would bring two dollars to work every day and swap it for silver coins. Then she asked if I wanted to see them. I was shocked when she pulled out three coffee cans filled with silver dollars, halves, quarters, and dimes. I started looking and was overwhelmed with the amount of coins.I got through a 1/3 of one can before I sensed she was getting bored with me looking through coins. She told me I could take some, so here is what I found so Far. I took some walkers from the 30's, she told me to take a pile of silver certs. and my daughter wanted a pile ofBuffalo nickels. to be contined
Yep.. it's always good to have grandparents that collect coins. The biggest addition to my collection back in the mid-fifties came from my grandmother's brother... a cigar box filled with coins, all from the 1800's (including a three dollar gold princess and an uncirculated 1875-S twenty cent piece). You have some nice coins there bkozak, and they have a personal value much greater than retail... so treasure them.
That's nice of grams to help fuel your passion. The memory and gesture is bigger than the coins she gave you
