Nice score for a Modest Collector
BOOK

To most of you this may seem small but to a modest collector this is COOL
My son-in-law stopped by the other day and told me he found a coin while cleaning his garage.
They had just moved in and the last people left quite a mess behind.
I was painting at the time so I just glanced at the coin it was a Morgan.
He was just going to give it to me but I gave him $5 and thanked him.
I looked at the coin later and it was a 1878 cc in close to EF. condition
I went over to his house and gave him another $20. Made us both happy!
Story Two This morning my wife gave me 5 Lincolns.
1911-d vf
1920-s ef
1924-s ef
1925-s ef
"1909-s PCGS graded VF30"
The first four are raw upgrades for my Dansco
The 09-s I needed to fill a hole. One last hole to fill.
To a modest collector this is a great birthday gift.
OK all you 57ers this is it. One to go

Fellow 57 er !
Get after that Birth Year Proof Set !
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
I turned 58 on Jan 4 and my wife gave me an 1878-S in PCGS MS66 which I was and am thrilled with.
I think it is so nice when your spouse (who knows nothing about coins) makes the effort to find out what you might like and then goes through with buying it instead of asking "now why do you spend so much on that stuff?"
