[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 5127883, member: 94733"]Welcome to CT Brian. It sounds like a great hobby for the girls to get into with you. How old are your girls? Lots of history lessons as well as art lessons in coins, so educational for them as well as you. Please post photos of what you find and might have questions about. Just as a side note, I'm sort of fussy about giving information about a coin or currency from photos, so advise members to do the following. [I]You should always post in focus FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it).
