Thank you, NumisEd! I agree. I'll assemble a set of those at some point. I'm currently focusing on building a Large Cent collection for now. Errers and Varietys.

For those of us who don't have an Uncle Barry, we should strive to *be* an Uncle Barry. That's awesome! I had an Uncle just like your Uncle Berry...Uncle Paul...boy oh boy...he was something else! God rest his soul! He never had any children of his own...he used to tell me...you're (me) the only niece or nephew that has any interests in coins...and would drop off hands full of silver to me. Be it 3 Peace dollars or a couple Morgan dollars...a hand full of pre 64 quarters pulled from his pocket...always always gave me something silver. I have given all of my nieces and nephews children for their baptismal gift a Silver round with hands folded inscribed "Born in Christ" along with a 1/10 Gold Eagle the year they were born. Thank God they are done having children now with the prices!  You brought up great memories for me... Thanks for sharing! smat Edited by smat45

Awesome uncle and gift. Nice to have someone who cares about your interests! Over $150 in silver. Hard to believe those dimes are worth up to $6 each. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
