<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 11007877, member: 100459"]I didn't know that my father was a coin collector. He passed in 1996. When we went through the will, it turns out that he had been collecting coins, however, not at the level that most, if not all, of you collect. It turns out that they had been kept in an old pickle jar, the kind that use to be in convenient stores, maybe not any more though. When my brother and I went through his coins, he had some interesting things in there, but my mother was not willing to give any of his things. When she passed in 1909, by brother and sister went through everything and found the jar. Since they live in California and I live in North Carolina, I did go to my mother's funeral, but didn't stay to go through all of their things. My brother made a list and asked me to divide the coins. I did and became an avid coin collector. His coins are still in the jar. I did get a lot of cool coins that I didn't even know existed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
