I was interested in numismatics for many many years as my grandfather (the real numismatist in the family) had been giving my sister and I sets every Christmas since 1986. However, we lost him last year and when I
inherited some of his coins that's what solidified my interest to try and pick it up seriously as part of his legacy.
Where most of his coins were unfortunately sold for estate purposes, I
inherited a collection of
Indian Head cents,
Three Cent Nickels, and various silver coins that he thought were odd, obscure, or interesting (which they certainly were!). As a trained librarian it was a rather natural thing to take on, and now I share it with my two daughters.
