<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan1878, post: 728250, member: 17869&quot;]I inherited the collection I have. I know how much the person I inherited it from enjoyed his collection. He had a lot of fun trading, enjoying and giving away coins to his grandchildren.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mission is to be a responsible caretaker for this collection. There&#039;s everything from rolls of &quot;melt value&quot; silver to MS grade coins. So far most of my time has been cataloging and providing proper storage for the collection.</p><p>When the time comes, I hope to pass it to someone who will carry the flame for another generation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a real treat to look at some of these coins and think about the history of the times when they were made. I carry around a very well-worn 1881 Morgan &quot;pocketpiece&quot;. When I look at the wear, I wonder how many hands it passed through and where it traveled.&nbsp; I took this coin to Europe last summer </p><p>because it&#039;s traveled so well in its 125 plus years, I thought it may as well go along for another ride. While we were in Barcelona visiting the Picasso museum, I noted that Picasso was born in 1881, same as the coin I was carrying. I think Pablo would have appreciated the beauty of coins as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
