srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3559 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:00 pm I've spoken many times about my dads and my trips to local coin shows over the years. He passed away in 2020 and it's taken me nearly six years to bring myself to curating his collection into mine. Of course being very careful to identify his coins from mine. I've been working on it for weeks now and it puts such a smile on my face when I come across a coin he picked up at one of those shows. This is one example that I came across today. I miss my dad terribly but moments like today brings me a lot closer to him. He would have celebrated his 94th birthday yesterday and I so wish we could have been at a show like we used to do around his birthday.

I was with him when he completed his Indian Head cent set, with a 1877 & another time his 1893-S Morgan silver dollar. I have many of memories of my humble beginings as a collector, with my grandma. She'd stop at the bank on Friday, and bring home penny rolls in the mid 70's. Surprisingly, we never really scored many, but the memories...... Report this Post to the Staff
