That looks like one fine collection. Very impressive. (As far the forger suspicion thing, I hadn't seen that, but I am sorry to hear about it.)

That is an admirable collection. And coming from a grandfather and father, it makes me think of what I would like to someday be blessed with to pass down to my three children. A lot of the coins I know nothing or very little about, but I will check out your other posts.
Thanks for sharing!

@kaikun2001, what a great legacy for your father and your grandfather to leave for you. I purposefully stayed out of your prior thread as I don't know enough to be able to comment.
One suggestion that I do have for your collection is to flatten the staples on all of the 2x2s. In at least some cases, they are still proud can could scratch a nearby coin if they line up exactly with that coin and then are jumbled around together. The 2x2s will also fit easier into their pockets with the staples flattened.

So I have a cousin who dabbles in coins as well. He, um, has a little bit of Rainman in him... mixed with a super healthy dose of any number of Jack Nicholson characters plus some imagination. He's very good with spotting varieties, could actually be a quite good "crackout artist" if he put his mind to it (that is, has a good eye for coins that were perhaps undergraded)... But boy, when he sells on ebay, he can't help but tell some ridiculous story about his grandfather had it from the war (no, John, Grandpa didn't), (our) uncle(s), he found it cleaning out a building, whatever... because he figures people respond to/connect with silly sentimentality, interesting backstory, etc. And don't the responses to this thread and others like it prove his point?!
