<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 8349985, member: 92655"]What a great service you provided for this lady. some years ago I friend of mine in church knew I was an avid coin collector. After his father passed, he asked if I could come help him make sense of his fathers coin collection. I went over... And then he opened a closet door... The entire closet being dedicated to his daddy's collection and my eyes glazed over... I spent every evening for the next two weeks in his daddy's coin closet. Hundreds of rolls of walkers, Mercury dimes, on and on. I inventoried as best I could, though I didn't take coins from their tubes to look for rarities. That just wasn't practical. I sent the list to a couple of dealer buddies that responded with offers and we carried his daddy's collection to one of them that paid cash on the spot.... Anyway, I said all that because the next week I received a thank you card with an envelope containing a proof set (in the mint mailing envelope!) from my birth year enclosed. I sure wasn't expecting that..... When folks happen upon a problem like that I believe they appreciate our help and guidance. I'll bet you will hear from her again for the fine service you provided to her.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
