My name is Lee and I have met a few of you already, again thanks for all the help so far. I am actually a high end WWII metals and insignia collector but have been thrust into the Coin World due to my grandpas OCD LOL. My mom and sister have decided its time to let this go, the collection really bothered everyone from my grandma "grandma what do you want to do with grandpas coins" .."I don't care, get it the heck out of my sight!". No one has told me the back story to this lol.

Anyway I thought I would start a thread here and I can upload pics for people to look at, avoid cluttering up the rest of the board with my pics unless someone sees something that should be discussed. Anyway, here are a few pics to start. FORGIVE me for miss handling coins!! I have learned a lot in the last week!

PS the pistol box even has coins! LOL
Happy collecting!

Can't tell from the pics what is in the boxes, but if most are Canadian, better to post in the Canadian section of the forum.

This looks like quite the impressive stash! I hope you enjoy going through this and think of your grandfather often as you do.

Now I have to go look up where the Rockies and that Prairie place is.
You have some really great coins there. Here in the USA I'm having a problem just trying to fill a Canada Small Cent Album.

I'll send you the geography lesson bill

I have 2 books, not full. I have a TON of loose small cents from about 36 up to the 80s, let me know what you are looking for, I may be able to spare a few. Grandpa always taught me to pay things forward, heck I would even pay for shipping
