I thought I'd share a few of my grandfathers old coins...except the 72' Munich Olympic coin. My dad got that one.

That's neat. It seems most of them are from the WWII era - your grandad must have served the navy. Thanks for sharing.

Nice group of coins, thanks for sharing. It was actually a cigar box full of coins (sounds like an ebay pitch) that my grandfather gave me that started me collecting.
