Neat thread just noticed it today. I have an interesting aquisition (no pictures yet). My mother in-law was partial heir to a mans estate recently, The fellow and I were supposed to get together to discuss coins as he was also a collector. When dividing the estate my mother in law was asked if she wanted his coin collection (valued by a dealer at $900 for the estate) as part of her proceeds. She took it and sold it to me for the appraised value knowing the man had wanted me to have some of the coins anyway. Here is the take so far
