I tried looking for a DDO listing for 1986-D and didn't find one. At first, look I only saw the DDD or MD (which is no doubt present) but with the scope, LIBERTY appeared to definitely have notches. Let me know what you think!

@t360 I appreciate the reminder to think about the important things. There's 3000 miles between us, and signs of dementia, but I'm trying to at least keep him up to date on my finds, and recently mailed him a few CRH treasures so he can share in the excitement of them (and also frankly there's just no replacement for the excitement of showing him them in-person).
@plumcrazy814 this is exactly the perspective I was looking for  Thank you for the clarity. I think I'll follow John1's advice and simply try to fairly purchase what I can when the time comes. |

I'm 30 years old. My (living) grandpa collects coins, stamps, and currency. Since I was a child, he would encourage coin collecting and give coins occasionally to each of his seventeen grandkids. Throughout my whole life I've been a coin collector (largely because of his influence).
Cutting to the chase, he's seeming older and older every time I see him, and I know that I am the only member of my extended family who is as emotionally invested in coin collecting. Many of his coins come from his father and grandfather, and I don't want them to go to a family member (likely my aunt) who will sell the whole lot with no emotional attachment or proper understanding of their value, etc.
Frankly, I really only care about the coins (never been into stamps, and currency never quite caught on), and even then only the ones of historical family significance. I truly don't care what happens with any coins he potentially bought/buys for financial investment, etc, I don't plan to make any kind of financial profit off of the coins I would receive. I want to preserve them, share the love of coin collecting with future family generations, through them.
Is this a conversation I should have with him? Should I have it with my mom and aunt (his executors) whenever his health goes downhill and/or he passes? Should I just let whatever happens happen and cope with it after the fact?
To be clear, I've tried to make sure he knows I collect coins, but I don't trust that he has a good pulse on how nobody else really does beyond them maybe showing some slight interest in the specific coins he gives them. |

| I agree that it's DDD and/or MD. The most recent image of the S and T was confusing and almost convinced me that there was more to it until I looks at the picture of that area in the first post where it's clear that what you pointed out in the second post is just PMD- as you can tell by the scratches being visibly continuous from the D to the S. |
