<p>[QUOTE="JeffC, post: 3717444, member: 90913"]May I make a suggestion? Why not turn this into a chance to start a part-time hobby! Buy an empty folder or album, "Coins of the 20th Century." You can get them from Littleton Coin Company or H.E. Harris. They're selling on ebay for $7.50 or even less. Here's an example and there are tons of others:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Harris-Coin-Collection-Folder-Coins-Of-The-20th-Century-Model-2700-Color-Data/113070050226?hash=item1a53800bb2:g:BR4AAOSwdC5ch4in:sc:USPSFirstClass!34677!US!-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Harris-Coin-Collection-Folder-Coins-Of-The-20th-Century-Model-2700-Color-Data/113070050226?hash=item1a53800bb2:g:BR4AAOSwdC5ch4in:sc:USPSFirstClass!34677!US!-1" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Harris-Coin-Collection-Folder-Coins-Of-The-20th-Century-Model-2700-Color-Data/113070050226?hash=item1a53800bb2:g:BR4AAOSwdC5ch4in:sc:USPSFirstClass!34677!US!-1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then have fun finding all the coins and filling the album! Hey, you already have the "big ones" (Morgan Dollar, Ikes, Benjamins, Kennedies, etc.)! Along the way, you'll find out so many fun things (like I did when I got my "hand-me-down" collection). For example, did you know that Ben Franklin was the first non-President to be on a coin? Take a look at the eagle on the reverse side of your Morgan Dollar. When it was first minted, it had a nice, symmetrical 8 tail feathers. There's no such thing in real-life and the Mint had to change it. 1921 (yours) was the last year it was minted. As for the Liberty Bell on the reverse of your Franklin Half, you can read up on FBL (Full Bell Lines) and what they are. For me, it was so informative and fun, that I wouldn't sell any of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
