[QUOTE="900fine, post: 146061, member: 6036"]Ya know, it's been an interesting ride for me. My father passed away in 2001 - on Memorial Day. He was a WW II veteran, and served this nation in the US Navy at New Caledonia, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima. I lost Mom 2 years later, almost to the day. I noticed during those years I was very nostalgic, and that's why I returned to coin collecting. These days, I can afford things which were out of the question on a paper boy's income ! And ya know what I've done ? I've put together what I call [B]"heritage sets" - date sets for the birth year of a loved one[/B]. 1923 for Dad, and 1928 for Mom. Since there aren't many pieces in a set like that, I can go for better grades - I think very highly of my folks. peace, everybody...[/QUOTE]
