Today (January 14th) would have marked the 115th birthday of my paternal grandmother, Jean Norton Shinnick (1911-1980). She was a talented painter and a wonderful grandmother.

In her honor, here are two coins from her birthyear. Got any 1911 coins to post? Share 'em! :)

Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
