Thanks everyone! Ya I was really happy! This was just the "icing on the cake" or "desert" lol.. last years lot was the big lot.. Except for the Washington's and Roosevelt's it was all doubles (triples, etc, lol) but I definitely upgraded a few of the halfs... O, and that was my first barber half! And the rainbow toning is AMAZING!! Even though there really low grade quarters the tone makes up for it! They'll stay in there!
I ended up trading in alot of the first lot in over the summer. I kinda felt bad, it took months to decide to do it. It was just that I realized all the $'s were common dates and I could upgrade them all to MS grades for a small price on top of the trade in so I did (23 Morgan's & 4-5
Peace dollars, except a GSA Morgan and one of the
Peace dollars which were MS, they were all pretty rough.. Well EF at best, so except those 2 they were all traded ((the GSA is explained below)) I don't think gramps or dad would mind the upgrade.. I felt bad because they were theirs... But now their all nice and shiny,
lol.
I also upgraded/added to (and most just about finished off, minus super keys VDBs etc) the rest of the sets I got...well and of course started like 10 more.... I couldn't be happier, and I hope their proud!! I LOVE coins now, lol. I thank gramps and dad for starting me on such a great hobby, it's been great, & I owe it all to them!
"Remember this 1916d dime you didn't want? I hope you will reconsider. Son? Son? Quick, someone get water, I think he passed out!"
Haha.. Too funny
Ya...that'd be sweet... Lol, but I had her search her room after finding these in case there was more... Nada... But who knows, coins, especially single coins, can hide anywhere... So I hope so! Lol.
There's actually a few coins still in her safe, a GSA CC Morgan, 1971 silver Ike in the mint package with the blue chip, and a 1967
no mint mark mint set in a nice little case. She said they're mine and "gave" them to me but because they were her fathers she wants to keep um there for a bit still. Which is fine by me, I have a key to the safe and house and have permission to "play" with them whenever.. And I understand her reasoning behind it so its all good.
--"Nice. Be careful with that dime folder,their going to fall out (the folder is upside down)LOL"
Upside down? I don't get it, lol. The clad page is folded behind the right page and those are faced down.. But snug... Otherwise in the pic I'm just sitting on the floor holding it in front of me tilted back a bit.. Not upside down though?
Lol, or do you mean that it's so empty that lots already "fell out"
(O ya, the clad part of the dimes and clad section in the quarters were only missing a few and all MS.. lol, actually after the printed date slots ran out my gramps (or dad) wrote the rest in to the end of the folders)
Tiberus123- I'm really sorry to hear that! That sucks! I just read your post about it.. Wow.. Ya... I'm really sorry, I can't even imagine!
And again thanks everyone! Sorry for the long posts, I'm just excited! My wife (and mom) like coins, and my wife will buy one for herself occasionally, but I can't "talk coins" with them... They get bored really quick, lol. Nor is there a coin club within an hour+ of me... or even anyone I know that collects so again sorry for the story.. I just have nobody to talk to about it:(
