[QUOTE="EGS, post: 10367905, member: 12841"]Hello everyone, It has been a loonnng time since I’ve posted. The kids do not want anything to do with what I have. What do I have you ask? Well first some background. Started “collecting” like a lot of us back in the late 50’s. Blue Whitman folders. So, it was/is in the beginning all what could be found in change. I was lucky. I had a paper route that presented a lot of coins to look through and get into the folders. Went to my first coin show in Boston in 1960 and bought my first proof set, a 1960 set. For a while I bought proof sets and mint sets and other stuff from the mint, but with three kids that ended sometime in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. What was a “collection” I would now call an accumulation. So, my most pressing question is, how do I relieve myself and my family of the accumulation? I am going to purchase a coin microscope to be able to “see” if I have anything really worth $$. So, all you knowledgeable people, lay it on me. Thanks, Hawkeye[/QUOTE]
