Manager of machine shop next door just stopped by

I'm sitting in my son's office a few minutes ago, looking through the Seated Quarters on Ebay, and the manager of the machine shop next door stops by to ask for some help on processing some mill work.
As we're talking, he's looking at the computer. So he says, you're into coins, huh?
I tell him yes.
Then he says he's got a safe deposit box full of old coins from the early 1800's his grandmother left him. He says he hasn't opened the box in the last 15 years.
Well..........................
Him and I are going to do a little looking. image

    What a way to end the week Ray! I hope you find something cool!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Hmmmmm...........
    If he's blind, maybe he couldn't find them.

    machine shops deal with precision and close tolerances... I can see what you mean about that blind installer. Does he have a GPS unit ?

    Don't get you hopes up. Rare coins are, well, rare.

    You never know though it could be great. Enjoy the trip and the process. Enjoy the coins and it will be OK if it's all just junk.
