I'm back from visiting my dad. He sent me home with most of his coins. I will be holding a giveaway soon with 3 winners and some of the items in this photo will be the prizes. I haven't gone through it thoroughly yet, but once I do a giveaway will be posted along with the prize options.

    Did he just quit collecting or just decided it was time to hand them down? Very cool of him, no matter the reason. Hopefully nothing to do with health!!!

    @bsshog40 He decided it was time to hand them down. His health isn't what it used to be, but he is still doing ok. It was a fun 4 days in Florida but too HOT down there for me. Glad to be back to a more reasonable temperature.

    Edit - I think the SBA sealed mint bags are pretty cool. I wonder if they tone up like the Morgan dollars do.

    Very nice assortment. How about some high graded wide rims in that SBA mint bag.

    EDIT: Never mind, their S's. Sorry.

    Thats good to hear! I would bet the SBA"s maybe golden, would be surprised if they had any other color to them. Looks like some fun stuff to look thru.

    I suggest buying him a life membership to the Collectors Universe US Coin Forum as a suitable Father's Day gift. :)

    He likes beer and eating so I will take him out for a good time. Lotsa beer and food and no driving :)
