<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 24643907, member: 89798"]I thought so, too. But, I'm a novice at grading coins. It was a pleasant surprise. She had saved change, off and on for over 30 years. But just pocket change. She passed away May 9th and left me her coins. I've got to go through them, but have found approximately 20 silver Dimes so far. I'm having to drive to Houston and go through everything she has, and disperse it according to her will. I found the Morgan Dollar in the back of a drawer, full of assorted items. I don't know if she remembered having it or not? She never mentioned it to me, but did tell me about her other coins. Most of her change is newer cents from about the 1970's to present day. She would turn in some of it every so often, but kept a few of her older jars, hence the silver Dimes. She was a month and a half from being 87 years old and never married. So far I've made 5 trips to Houston (about 3 hour drive) and have several more to go. But, what a blessing it is to be able to do this for her and my other 4 siblings. BTW, I'm the youngest at 76. The others are from 80 to 89 (90 in October). Sorry, got carried away. Thank you for your experienced eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
