Hey there, well recently I was looking at some old coins my mom had, and she noticed how much i was interested in them. So she says she has more that here grandmother gave her (apparantly her grandmother was a major coin collector). I ask her to take them out, and she brings out a shoebox worth of coins in bags, medicine containers, and other assorted containers. I quickly start going through everything, and then she brings out another shoebox full of coin books (the ones filled with coins), proof sets, and tons of other collertors stuff. Just by looking at a box I can tell its well over 200 coins.
So over the past week, Ive been looking at the coins, catalogueing them and going over this whole site finding out eveything I can. Heres a little amount I can remember, the most significant stuff I can remember:
-7 Morgan Dollars- 1886, 1889, 1889, 1890, 1890, 1902, 1921
-Tons of Kennedy half dollars from 1964, most in great condition, maybe I'll say the amount later
-Around 70 1976 Bicentennial quarters
And to top it off heres a pic of all the half dollars I have, these include the 1964 Kennedys (in the brown rolls), a few Franklins, and plenty of Walking Liberty's stacked up.
Sorry it's a crappy picture, due to the bad lighting.
After I finish writing everything down, maybe I'll post part of the list. I look forward to visiting these boards frequently.

Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."

Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.
Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society.
I just need a job now so I can start affording more parts for my car and coins to make my own collection (the coins are still my moms, but I treat them like my own heheh).

Kennedy Halves? How old is your mother's grandmother?
Heres a 1902 Morgan I found, the picture doesn't show all of the detail, but you can tell by how clean it is (its never been cleaned) that it still has all of its details. I have about 5 other Morgan dollars in this condition or better, and then another Morgan with good detail but bad luster all greyish etc.
I'll post a pick of the Kennedys in a bit...

I'm more a GM. Chevy, Pontiac (I own a '68 Tempest, my dad owns a '78 Vette).
Heres a pic of all the half dollars that I found. Everything laid out (the first 62 of em) are 1964 Kennedy half dollars. Everything else in the laid roll is Kennedys past 1964.
Say, fairlaneman, is that dime in your avatar embeded in some type of vinyl? I really wanna get a 1968 coin in my car somehow. One guy I talked to said he got a dime pressed (embeded, whatever) into the shifter knob.
