So my grandparents were just over for dinner. I had told my grandpa (since getting out of the military) that I've been really into coin collecting. One other time I showed him what I had. (One was a Jefferson album he started, gave to my mom, she gave to me) Well this time he came bearing gifts ^_^ Apparently when he stopped he didn't get rid of everything. He gave me one box full of a mix of Wheaties, Liberty V nickels, and Silver War Nickels. The other box was full of Walkers, Baraber halfs, quarters and dimes and tons of silver roosevelts, Washington quarters, JFK's and Franklins With a few Liberty Dollars and Morgans.       I just had to share, I was so excited. Today I also made an offer on my me and my wife's first house.. good day indeed. *Edit* Barber dimes, not dollars Edited by Namachieli 04/07/2010 10:40 pm
