<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil&#039;s Coins, post: 8340553, member: 112104&quot;]As a kid on Sundays my grandfather would visit us and have Sunday dinner with the family, prior to dinner he would have me polish his shoes and would always tip me a quarter. He told me that the coins would someday be worth more than they were back then (mid50&#039;s) and that is when he explained to me what coin collecting was and he encouraged me to look at each coin I got from anyone/anywhere. Over a couple of years I learned what MM&#039;s were and what coins to look for. When he passed away in the fall of 73 at the age of 88 his brother was his conservator and he made sure that I got his Lincoln set and yes it did contain the holy grail 09svdb and I still have it. I recently removed the coins from the old books and have since replaced them with the Whitman blue books, the only coin I do not now have is the 55 dd but I continue to search. The only reason I switched holders was due to the loose fitting of the coins and fear of losing one of them. someday my grandkids will be the ones to inherit the set complete as far as I can continue it and I WILL FIND A SUITABLE&nbsp; 55.</p><p>Semper Fi</p><p>Phil[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
