My father passed away Sunday 9-25-2022. He didn't collect coins, but he loved when he received a half dollar or some other "odd" coin in change so we could talk about it. He would go to the bank to get 2 dollar bills to give to my children on their birthdays. He was a great man and I will miss him dearly. Please post any coin in his honor, maybe a few 1954 Franklin half dollars for his birth year.

    I don’t have a coin to post but i have a story about my Pops…he was a very strict man but collected coins as a boy…he would make my brother and i pick up twigs and branches in our yard for a few hours before he would take us to our local show in downtown Portland Oregon in the early 70s…we cherished these trips to the show! He would give us 3 or 4 dollars to spend on coins we liked…i paid a dollar for a pristine 33D RED lincoln cent and remember him being upset that i paid 50 cents more than it was worth…
    He loved to tell the story of finding a 1901 S 5 dollar gold “Piece” in front of the local store in his home town of Conway Washington in the late thirties…
    I owe my coin collecting passion to him…
    My sincere condolences to you..

    Losing a parent is really hard. I'm so sorry as I know how you feel.

    I was born in 1959 so it's always tough to hear someone dying so young.

    In his honor, I'd like to donate it to you in remembrance. The mint mark is pretty cool too. PM me if you're interested?

    So very sorry for the loss of your father. I lost mine this past June and still have tough moments. We went fishing almost every weekend and would go to at least 1 if not 2 local coins shows each month. Miss the conversations and commenting on auctions. I don't have any coins from '54 and only one Franklin so adding that photo in his honor.
