<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 2609484, member: 28299&quot;]I started collecting coins circa 1988.&nbsp; In the late 1980&#039;s early 1990&#039;s I got a box of coins from my parents.&nbsp; My Grandmother had died in 1986 (my Grandfather died before I was born), and I guess the box of coins from her estate had just been sitting around somewhere in my Father&#039;s closet afterwards.&nbsp; I have no idea which of my Grandparent&#039;s collected coins, or potentially it was both of them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coins were pretty much what you would expect, circulated examples of common date coins.&nbsp; Still it was a nice smattering of this and that.&nbsp; Like an idiot I sold off all the Large Cents, as I wasn&#039;t collecting them at the time.&nbsp; They were pretty well circulated, I&#039;d say AG3 to VG8 for the most part from what I can remember.&nbsp; I did at least put the proceeds back into other coins.&nbsp; Over the years I&#039;ve posted various coins from the collection.&nbsp; Anyhow, once I got into collecting space memorabilia I started looking for fun less expensive ways to collect coins, and after working on Dansco Franklin and Washington albums I found sticking a coin in a Dansco hole was a satisfying endeavor.&nbsp; Given that, I decided to do a DATE run of Morgans.&nbsp; So, I started looking through the Morgans, and here are some of them.&nbsp; The half dollars and dollars of my Grandparent&#039;s collection I had I put in brown paper bags and tossed them in a drawer circa 1990.&nbsp; A lot of them have toned up, some pleasantly, some not so nicely.&nbsp; The 1899-O was in a clip together hard plastic 2 X 2, hence it&#039;s whiteness.&nbsp; The images were done by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570648[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]570649[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570650[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]570651[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570652[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]570653[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570655[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]570657[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570659[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]570660[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
