<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1525663, member: 12789&quot;]My grandfather didn&#039;t believe in paper money, he was born in 1891 and never trusted paper.&nbsp; When he was in his late 80&#039;s he came to move in with us and my dad asked me if I wanted to buy some of the coins out of the safe my grandfather kept to put into my collection.&nbsp; I was about 11-12 or so and said not many because I didn&#039;t have a whole lot of money.&nbsp; Of course they were all silver coins, dimes, quarters, lots of halves and Morgans and Peace.&nbsp; I did buy a few of the oldest coins and put them in my Whitman.&nbsp; Glad I chanced on picking out the 1909-O half, at the time it was only worth the silver value - now it has appreciated considerably.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So what happened to the rest of the coins, the ones I didn&#039;t buy you ask.&nbsp; Well after we left and went home my aunt got into the safe and cashed the whole lot, several thousand dollars worth at the bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
