<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Southpawdon, post: 7515780, member: 101593&quot;]I love the display piece.&nbsp; The one shown and any that have some descriptive writing.&nbsp; One of the reasons to put together type sets is to show what our coins have looked like throughout our history.&nbsp; One question does pop up from a comment made by Lueds: &quot;If these are the sets put together by the likes of Littleton or similar, many of the coins, generally, have been whizzed...&quot;&nbsp; Is this something that is true and generally known?&nbsp; My father never had much money, but he bought a lot of coins from Littleton ($1.00-$5.00 or so, sometimes a little more) and got so much joy from getting them, recording them in his own record book and just looking through them.&nbsp; When he got sick I used to sit with him and discuss his coins and it was a memorable experience.&nbsp; He recovered from that illness and lived another 10 years during which we always looked at and discussed the coins whenever I was able to travel from PA to Conn and make a visit.&nbsp; I guess I would be disappointed if the comment were true since I now have a large number of those Littleton coins still in their little baggies.&nbsp; However, I am more thankful for them being available and affordable for my father because of the relationship strengthening they provided.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
