Message:: [QUOTE="Lagaidh, post: 1078154, member: 28769"]My father died when I was 7, but he introduced me to coins a year earlier. This past year, I was looking over the two Whitman folders of Washington Quarters he had assembled. I talked to my mom about them. They aren't the quality I've come to desire. I've put together a nice, white MS63-66 set of Washington quarters. When I was down to three holes left... I began thinking about the roll and a half of average circulated quarters from my father's collection. My mom made a good point in saying that she thought my dad would have loved to sell his coins to buy me a nice one. I found that easy to believe, even if it may have been greedy thinking. I know that whenever I look at my nice PCGS MS63 1932-S 25c, that I think, "Thanks Dad." It's a great example too. There's a wonderful scratch on the back. I say wonderful, because the obverse is a solid MS65 coin. That wonderful inconsequential scratch on a wing knocks it down to a wonderfully affordable MS63 deal! Thanks again Dad.[/QUOTE]
