<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miedbe7, post: 2145756, member: 33919&quot;]My great grandmother, passed in 1995, owned an antique store in Springfield IL.&nbsp; She hoarded silver out of change, according to my father, way before 1965.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if she specifically collected coins.&nbsp;&nbsp; My grandmother HOARDED coins, she passed last year, and relatives I don&#039;t know cashed in a lot of stuff at FV.&nbsp; She had glass milk jugs (the BIG ones) filled to the brim with coins.&nbsp; I remember as a kid, while on summer vacations to her home in FL, she&#039;d always show me these &quot;weird&quot; coins, like Kennedy Halves and Eisenhower Dollars.&nbsp; She also always put a silver dollar in a holiday dish as a tradition.&nbsp; Can&#039;t remember which one or why.&nbsp; I also heard that my uncle, who passed 2 years ago, had a fairly sizable Indian Head cent collection.&nbsp; I miss them all and never ever got to share with them my interest in coins.&nbsp; I did however get two of my most cherished coins from my Grandmother a few years ago in the mail.&nbsp; Two circulated Ikes, a 1971 and a 1976.&nbsp; So I guess I&#039;m a 4th generation collector, kinda.&nbsp; Directly related to me, I started collecting on my own accord, so that&#039;d be 1st generation.&nbsp; I guess split the difference and I&#039;m a 2.5 generation collector!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
