[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2860418, member: 80547"]In 1986 my dear Grandfather passed away from a massive stroke. While I'm adopted, he never treated me any different than if I was his biological grandson. He was truly dear to me. My grandparent's house was always a great stop for my buddies for sweet tea whenever we were thirsty! Anyway, I'll stop waxing nostalgic. During recent years my mom found that I was a coin collector. Funny thing is I remember her being horrified that I paid 30 dollars for a pretty MS 09 vdb cent. So she tells me that Grandpa had a whitman folder collection...she see's many key slots filled which of course is exciting. Reality is grandpa had lots of them filled with 40's coins...all good to me. Thing is, in the middle of all the worn and misplaced coins, there is a beautiful AU 1912-D. This will probably be my most adored coin...no matter the value of the others in my collection.[ATTACH=full]680921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]680922[/ATTACH] My picks suck but at least the color is good![/QUOTE]
