twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 10/01/2016 07:00 am I wish he'd left notes explaining why. I was still at a very self-absorbed age when he passed, so I didn't know him as well as I now wish I had. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 10/01/2016 10:27 am I agree with n9jig... they must have some sort of sentimental value. In the movie "Throw Mama from the Train," Danny Devito shows off his coin collection to Billy Crystal. Rather than having numismatic value, all his coins have sentimental value. fZpfHrTcS4Y * Edited by Staff to add YouTube tags. [youtube][/youtube] Please use them in the future.

ApexCollecting New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/16/2016 7:05 pm Maybe one of them has numismatic value and the other coins are to hide that one within the bunch. Other than that I can only think they either have sentimental value or to baffle others, as aforementioned. Report this Post to the Staff
