<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1395638, member: 19855&quot;]Grandpa has told me every time he gives me a coin or more, &quot;This is the last of it. You have everything I have ever owned in coins.&quot; Well, he gave me the same speech last week when he gave me his military issue stock box loaded to the rim with coins. Grandpa never went to a dealer, just pulled this and that from circulation or bank rolls. Here&#039;s a couple I found interesting, and hopefully you will too!</p><p><br /></p><p>He had tons of V nickles all of various grades. I was like a kid in the candy store since I only had one V nickle up till the point. This one evidently did its job well of circulating. Grandpa saved it from another purchase:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/grandpaslast002-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>He also had SEVERAL Indian Cents. Here are two that I liked the best. Love the chocolate look!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/grandpaslast006-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/grandpaslast010-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Lady&#039;s store in Richmond had a promotion, giving away free Wheat Cents with coupon. Grandpa didn&#039;t care to wait in line with the ladies to pick this one up:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/grandpaslast013-horz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Grandpa also said one day he went to the bank and noticed rolls of Sac Dollars. He bought a couple, put them in a sealed envelope and there they sat until last week when he gave me his box. Most complain of awful toning with this series, but who can complain with this one?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/grandpaslast021.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s still so many more I need to catalogue. Also several bills of which I know NOTHING about. Just hoping this isn&#039;t really the &quot;last&quot; of his surprises. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
