A tale of a little Girl and a Winged Liberty Jewel...

I loved these Winged Libertys when I was 8 years old. I still do......... I remember daddy taking me to Jim Coad Rare coins when he was located on Central Ave.. And Daddy said to pick out a coin... I found the shiniest (shiny)(how do you spell this) Winged Liberty I saw... I remember my Eye balls popping out of my head..... This Dime was so Shiny.... I told my daddy, "El papá, por favor me compra que bastante uno. Es bonito." Which means, "Daddy, please buy me that pretty one.. It is pretty."..... English was not spoken in my home....
He bought it..... I kept this JEWEL in my dresser at home and looked at it for years..... This coin stayed brilliant and shiny all these years...
I recently submitted it.......
PCGs thought highly of this JEWEL.......... and they gave the HepKitty a MS67FB on this one...... I also remember telling my daddy Be Bop A Lula when he bought it for me.......... Hepcats, take your daughters with you when you go coin hunting.... Plant the seeds of this wonderful hobby, and when they see a shiny GEM, buy it!!!!!!
My 1938D MS67FB A Hepkitty Collection JEWEL!
by the way.... the Winged Liberty is my favorite coin.....

The things I collect today seem natural to me..... I remember daddy giving me Frankies from circulation.... I thought the Bell was so cool... and I loved this nice big coin...... However, I always bugged for nickels so I could play Elvis and Buddy Holly on the jukebox... I was a furious dancer..... I still am........
Cats, your children are the next generation collectors......... teach them... encourage them........I used to get exicited about many seated liberty coins I bought at the swap meet... I still have em..... they are really beat up... but I would hold them wondering who else held them and if a famous person spent them..... Thats what coin collecting is all about!

Excellent advice! I really enjoy reading posts like these. A little sunshine in the forums is always a welcomed surprise!
Great story Lucy! Thank you for sharing it!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I share my coins with my 2 year old daughter, and took my 11 year old daughter to her first coin show in Long Beach earlier this year. Sowing the seeds of love.

I think my baby girl may be a collector - if you hand her a slabbed coin, getting it back is like trying to steal candy from a kid.
Either she's gonna be a collector or she has her momma genes - her momma believes that coins are meant to be spent!

Lucy ! you got smoe splaining to do !
Nice coin and story,we all love the Kitty !
My mercury dimes salute your and your Dad's 1938-D mercury dime!
I suspect that your dime registry set will someday be called "El Papá's Collection."
That is the best story I've read since I've been on the forums. My condolences to you and your familly.
