Hi, my name is Alexis.

I've been collecting for over 30 years and looking to share pictures of my collection and get some answers to coins I have no idea what to do with.

I travel, draw, write and currently going to be starting a new adventure by being a mom.

My prized coin is a Morgan dollar, 1921. My Great Aunt Gean gave it to me in secret when I was 10 years old. She did it because her son was a heavy druggie and the coins her husband collected would go missing. It was the only thing she ever gave me. When she passed, everything she had was sold. I don't keep it with my regular collection, as I'm afraid to lose it.

Thank you for reading!

Thank you!
I'm looking forward to it. When the kids older, I hope they become a coin collector too

Welcome to the mom's club. Get ready for an exciting ride.
Your Morgan story is quite touching. We never know what a small act of love/kindess will mean to someone.

Sixela,
to CCF.
Congrats on being a mom
Any chance you can post a full coin photo front and back of the extra special Morgan dollar?
I just had a great idea for a name for your baby.....Morgan

Here is my prized coin.
I'm afraid to clean it and this has never left the plastic envelope for about 12 years now.

Do not clean it.
Is that a S or D mint mark?
