<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DMiller, post: 1177911, member: 24138&quot;]My coin collecting hobby began with the death of my mother&#039;s paternal grandfather - a coin collector.&nbsp; When he passed, he split his collection between my mom and her siblings.&nbsp; My mom knew there was some value to the items, and passed it to my sister and I.&nbsp; Thus began my adventure cataloging the coins, researching, etc.&nbsp; Then, a few years ago, my mother&#039;s maternal grandfather passed and what do you know, he was also a coin collector.&nbsp; Death is an unfortunate part of life, but I&#039;ve been blessed with great gifts from my family, and it&#039;s a fun way to remember them.</p><p><br /></p><p>My personal favorite coin in the collection is a Columbian Exposition half.&nbsp; It&#039;s not terribly valuable, but every time I look at it I can picture my great granddad buying it at the actual Exposition.&nbsp; (I&#039;m not sure if he was actually alive at the time of the exposition, but that&#039;s what I see in my mind! ha)</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope to be able to pass the collection on to my own great-grandkids some day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
