Message:: [QUOTE="hfd12316, post: 559663, member: 4985"]A guy at work and I were yacking one day and the topic of coins came up in conversation. I told him I collected and he said he always wanted to. He loves the Morgan $ and wished he had one. I had just received a few from an inheritance so I looked through them and picked out a 1899O and gave it to him. He just about did a back flip. I did put one caveat on the gift. He had to buy a Red book, and read up on the coin. Well he procrastinated a bit and a few month's later still didn't have a red book. I gave him two days to either impress me with some tidbit from the Red Book or return the coin. Well he did get the book and told me his grade for the coin which I felt was a bit optomistic (he said AU 58 i think VF) so I let him keep it. Now he can't get enough. I wasn't very enamored with Mr. Morgan's cartwheel at  first but now am researching price / grade for a collection of P mint coins. Not a week goes by that he doesn't bring in a show and tell item. Lot's of fun for me. I think I created a monster![/QUOTE]
