<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8388563, member: 100459"]My father had a coin collection, and my brother would be the recipient of his coins, except my mother didn't want to start giving my brother, two sisters and me the things our father left to us. Probably, she didn't want to start emptying her home of the things my father (and mother) had collecting. My father had been in the U.S. Navy during WW II and served in the South Pacific and my parents had collected many great things. After WW II, he left the Navy and enlisted in the Navy. It was then that they collected many things, especially "his" coin collection. Our mother passed in 2009. It was then my brother and I received "his" coin collection and he had many U.S. coins and currency. Many of the coins were worn a bit, but they were and are beautiful coins, especially the coins. Before the coins were finally given to us, we went over each item we were given. Something that I really liked are the 1988 American Eagle Silver Uncirculated coins. There were 6, and each had been preserved in the 2 by 3 inch "plastic" case for each. He also had some Morgans, Ike dollars, and almost all of the Indian Head Cents. No matter what the condition they were in, they were my father's When I looked at the ASE's, I got "hooked" on the ASE's. Since then, I have bought the ASE-W, ASE-S, and the ASE-UNC. I missed out on a few ASE's because they were sold out before I could get them. I wish all that are ASE collectors, the best of luck in your search for the perfect coin. They are out there, but several of them are beyond my price limit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
