I was going to suggest you continue in the existing topic, but this makes sense. I edited the title to make that clear.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3471 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 7:29 pm The gold ring intrigues me most. Long ago my aunt gave me a gold ring that turned out to be my grandfathers wedding ring. That ring was my most prized possession until I learned how much it meant to my dad. He now proudly displays that ring in his curio cabinet and someday it'll be mine again, hopefully many years from now. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 7:58 pm @dapuma, very nice group of coins to add to your collection. If you put them in 2x2s, I recommend that you add a note in an unobtrusive area the source of the coin so that you always remember that it came from your dad. I have done that with some of my coins that came from my grandfather: http://goccf.com/t/277302&whichpage=253#2642720 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
dapuma New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 02/14/2018 10:16 pm I will think about putting them in 2x2s, but it is not of my utmost concern at the moment. But don't worry. I look through his closet sometimes looking for old coins and electronic junk. He lets me keep any old coin collections from his youth (or before) I find. In part 1 I found 4 boxes full of Canadian silver, in total worth about $12-13k per box. Of course I can't keep that, as it isn't an old coin collection.
