[QUOTE="RedRaider, post: 1600349, member: 27181"]I saw my grandmother this christmas and she showed me the coin collection she inherited from her father 30 or so years ago. I took a few, took some pictures and put the nicer coins in a SDB. Among the collection were these 2 coins that stood out against others. [ATTACH]224935.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]224936.vB[/ATTACH] I don't collect either series and do not know much about them but as I would eventually like to see them in my US type set. I did see that this was the only year they made the $3 in New orleans. It was pretty cool to see what he had collected. A substantial amount of silver 90% (going back as far as the Seated series), complete IHC collection (1877 and 09s were AG and F, but problem free), about 50 large cents (4 classic head), 200 Buffalo nickels, 50 liberty nickels, 10 or so rolls of wheat cents (did not go through them), some foreign that I didnt recognize, and more. My grandmother only got half of his collection. Her older sister sold all of her part 20+ years ago (Bummer!)[/QUOTE]
