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

Coin is pretty worn... but everything is visible to the naked eye. Pretty easy AG grade, still a cool coin to have!
