Message:: [QUOTE="Cylii, post: 2177596, member: 43071"]My grandpa passed away some 15/16 yrs ago. Always saying "I hope one of my grandkids enjoy these coins as much as I did!".For years my brothers and I had no interest in them.  Now don't get me wrong. We had "interest" but it was only $$ wise. There was just SO MUCH we didn't have a clue where to start. So one day my dad is talking about taking everything to the bank. I just couldn't let that happen. At least not until everything was looked at. He says by all means go ahead, knock yourself out, with a smirk.Then next day I dive in feet first. It took me about 3-4 days before I said holy moly batman. What have I done. What am I doing. This is gonna take me years!  So I bought and read all the books, scoured the internet. Needless to say 3 yrs later I caught the bug!Nobody would have ever guessed that the baby, the only girl in the family is the one to enjoy grandpas collection. I wish so much I had known years ago when grandpa was alive how much fun it is. He could answer all my questions. Mostly on how, why, where. With that said, my main reason for telling my tale. Is that although your nephews say they are not interested, maybe first they should find out what they are not interested in. Ask them to read "The Red Book" before deciding. Maybe you need someone to drive you to a coin show (not that you don't drive). I would have love to have gone with my grandpa![/QUOTE]
