Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 12:38 pm What is really impressive here (not to rain on your parade) is that you have 9 pages of mileage over a rather pedestrian lot of ,"kept everything and traded and bartered" collection. The type of material shown here is pretty main stream stuff and is far more "quantity" than "quality". To educate a few on this forum this is exactly the kind of material that walks into coin shops on a daily basis. A great percentage of what you have shown us is silver or silver plus coins that would have been taken out of circulation back in the day and put into albums. It is obvious that your family member had great fun enjoying the hobby , but like many of his time period did NOT spend a great deal of money on a coin collection. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as it shows enjoyment for numismatics , not the expectation of monetary gain. That said ( I am just being a Monday COB ) enjoy going through it all it does look like you have learned about some of this and had most importantly FUN. That is what the hobby is supposed to be about. Edited by Pacificoin 04/27/2015 12:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 1:06 pm Ya I know that pacificoin and no worries, you're not wrong but you may be a touch (hopefully) shortsighted as I am only working off of the few tubs I've brought back to work with. For my sanity I have begrudgingly decided to not even superficiality dive into the entirety of it at once but rather one trip of a few tubs at a time. And I've only taken 1 trip; last week! Who knows what will be in boxes 10, 12, 20, etc? I could just be into his post-stroke suff right now? Stay tuned... Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 1:26 pm Plus, while coins were the bulk of his passion I'm also dealing with jewelery, antiques & collectibles. Like this for instace... Its an 1800's 10k gold photo locket with a .3 ct old mine diamond and a love token design... I wonder if it's initials or "Confederate States something?" though. I also wonder if that's an actual coin on the LT side but it dosent look to be and I don't want to risk damaging the photo to check... Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188660 Posts	Posted 04/27/2015 2:05 pm Quote: Ok here's some mercs... Even though it is sparsely populated, it is very nice. I like the old Library of Coins albums. This is another one you could keep and complete, if that interests you.

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/28/2015 12:31 am Aha! A Mercury dime Library of Coins album.. I have one myself, but one of the plastic sliders is almost like superglued in place, and all the sliders on the last page are missing. I guess that's what you get for paying like $2.00 at a half price bookstore. Report this Post to the Staff
