Post Your '14

RockyMtnProspector

My Great Aunt passed today at the age of 101. Born in 1914, she worked alongside my Grandfather at the store where I received so many of my coins early on, as I described in my intro. She also set aside stuff for me that came in in the '80s and '90s, because she knew I was a voracious collector.

I don't have anything with '14 in it, so let's throw up some coins in her honor!

Sorry to hear about your great aunt.

I'm sorry for your loss, she sounds like she was a great aunt to you. The only '14 I have is Canadian-

Sorry for your loss.

These are all so great! About a year ago I showed some of my coins to her, because she asked if I still collected them.

Little did she know what I had gotten myself into in the intervening 20 or so years!

Amazing coin! She was like an extra Grandmother after my Mom's parents passed. My sister and I were really close to her.

I'm sorry for your loss. She lived a good long time and sounds like a wonderful, strong, hard working great aunt.
My thoughts and prayers to your family and loved ones.

She retired in 1995 at 81. My grandfather and grandmother were both 83. It was a family-run business and they loved working (because they did what they loved). Truly lucky.

Only 1914 coin I have is a German one. May she rest in peace...

Condolences, RockyMtnProspector. My dad was born in 1904 and he introduced me to early US coins in 1959. I wish I'd kept the half dime he gave me from his mother, instead of cashing it in for a DC comic book.

Crap...I wish I'd kept the comic book.

100 years too soon, but still a '14:

My condolences to you and your family. She must have been an amazing woman... Cheers, RickO

She sounds like a great person!

A little different, but these are London hallmarks for 1814-15

These are coins I used to own.

What a wonderful life, to experience a century of events. She must have been
quite a woman.
In our town we recently had a woman of 105 & several in their late 90's.

It's always hard to loose a loved one. Passing the century mark is an achievement!

I'm guessing you intentionally said '14... to include 2014.

Anyway, based on your name, I thought you might enjoy this:

I'm very sorry for your loss. Sounds like she just missed her birthday too.
Lance covered that 14-D cent in a huge way, so here's my 14-D nickel:

She would have been 102 on December 23rd.
