Message:: [QUOTE="JeffC, post: 4974535, member: 90913"]Your grandfather's set is probably the most beautiful and exciting thing I've seen (all in one place) since joining CoinTalk in 2017.  If you can hold on to it, please do.  Cherish it and pass it along to the next generation.  I know I would.  Many of the coins that aren't gold could be worth quite a lot as well, simply because of their high grades, beauty, and eye appeal.  The Draped Bust large cent is very nice and that Coronet Head large cent (labeled "Liberty Head" in the album) looks AMAZING!!! That Flying Eagle cent looks almost uncirculated.  And on that 2-cent piece (that's the first time "In God We Trust" was put on a coin), you can still see the "WE," which is not the case in many of the specimens for sale.  I could go on and on.  If I were allowed to visit, I would spend HOURS just looking through this album.  I hope you could hold on to it.  Please post more close-up photos when you have the chance.[/QUOTE]
