<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vroomer2, post: 177556, member: 80251&quot;]Ok, so we have horror stories, what got you started, etc...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, I have a rescue story. Before I left for VA, I had dinner with one of the families at my church. The dad and son like to hunt and we had quail tacos... mmm. Anyway, my coin collecting hobby came up as topic of conversation during dinner and they wanted to show me their grandpa&#039;s coin collection. I didn&#039;t even try to mentally prepare myself for any horrors...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After dinner, out comes this craftsman tool box, the kind that you can pull the drawrs out. We go from the top to the bottom. They are most pleased with the proof coins and the shiney ones from the mint. Two PCGS Murcury dimes (1944-D MS-65 FB and a 1940 MS-65 FB.. OLD OLD super small green PCGS slabs.) caught my attention REALLY quick. The proof sets were &quot;top shelf&quot; to them. :whistle: In the middle were some empty/partially filled Whitman flip folders and a few darksiders. :kewl: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before I open the bottom and last drawr, I was told, &quot;These aren&#039;t as good as the ones in the top tray.&quot; *GASP* <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> in the first bin were about 15 Morgan dollars in plastic wrap. *ACK* Then I started through the 2x2s and pulled out a nice BU 1935-S Washington Quarter. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I almost fell over.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This past Sunday, at church, I delivered 25 2x2 flips for their Morgans and the Red Book on Morgans, 2nd edition. Since they had professed wanting to do the right thing, I just gave them tools and will let them go nuts. I have also offered to send in their 1935-S to the PCGS when I send in my next submission.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That was my good coin deed for 2006. :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
