<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robert Ransom, post: 4623389, member: 97872&quot;]Returning to yesteryear when I was young in the 1950&#039;s, my Grandfather would give me a Morgan Silver Dollar each time we visited. He told me the coins would be worth a lot of money when I was ready for college. He was an avid Morgan Collector and had a large collection. When he passed away suddenly, my Grandmother began selling his coins to support herself. She was savvy enough to contact a fellow collector friend of my Grandfather and with his guidance, was able to sell the coins at reasonable prices.</p><p>A year after my Grandfather&#039;s passing, I gathered the Morgans he had given me and on the next visit to my Grandmother&#039;s, I placed them on the bottom of the large case where he had stored them. My Grandmother never said a word about the coins, but I knew she knew what I had done because on every visit, she would bake an apple pie just for me. I am happy to say the coins I placed in the chest allowed her to not have to take a job. When she passed away many years ago, she left me a letter thanking me for returning the Morgans my Grandfather had given me.</p><p>The coins were individually wrapped in waxed paper, fitted into a small envelope and &quot;Very shiny&quot;. I knew nothing about coins at my young age and still feel the same way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
