<p>[QUOTE="wannahocalugie, post: 3751246, member: 107528"]Hi again all. With some brain power and time I managed to use what I have on hand to get full coin viewing with the same camera that was left to me. Believe it or not I'm using a screw driver, vice grips, loop and the camera. Not the greatest, but I'm making it work. So going through this inherited collection, again no proofs or mint conditions here, I did find these Morgans. Missing 1880, but found it neat none the less. One of the other members were giving an opinion on a 100 year old coin and wanted to look that good when that age, LOL. I just want to say me too! Can you imagine 130+ years ago these were in who knows pocket. Mind blowing. Anyway, pretty cool and wanted to share a few of them. Amazing he had circulated 1881 - 1885.</p><p>I am confused on one point maybe you all can help with. Some of the older coins are still really shiny. While others are looking more oxidized or dirty. I would have thought the older ones would go first, again keep in mind all are circulated. He keeps them in a large medicine bottle with cotton in between. Weird I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
