I still have a few coins and a letter from Gramdpa. Letter dated 1967, coin 1882, the year his parents came to America.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

It is amazing to see his interest grow, all starting from wanting to see my little box of coins I kept as a kid/teenager (handful of wheats, some bicentennial quarters, a few silver quarters/dimes, and the obligatory State Quarter set). He's more than surpassed my little collection
