<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ChrisB, post: 368996, member: 14290&quot;]Hello all, </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;I have been lurking the site for awhile now and this seems like the perfect time for a first post.&nbsp; My Grandmother and my Mother got me collecting coins, They saved everything unusual they found and gave a lot of them to me when I was old enough not to spend them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;My favorite coins are 7 Morgan dollars that were recovered from my grandmothers house after it burnt to the ground in a gas explosion in 1971. All the copper-nickel coins were partially melted but all the silver survived with a nasty black soot that covered them. I dipped the coins and most of the black came off but I wanted some on there for character. All the coins sit in my Dansco album proudly with the mostly uncirculated set and I put an 1884 from the fire in the 1895 slot because it means more to me than a $50,000 coin I will probably never own.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for listening and thanks for a site with some great info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
