My grandpa passed away after a short battle with cancer in 2014. My grandma has the bulk of the collection locked up, but she has sent me a few of the albums he had lying around. Sorry for the bad pics right now. I do better with single coins than whole album pages. Jim
Collect raw morgans, walkers, mercs, SLQ, barber q. Looking at getting into earlier date coins pre 1900s.

Looks like grandpa was having fun collecting those.
How nice you have his album(s).
Will you continue with them?

That is cool @bigtime36 are you continuing the series or passing it on?
@Hemispherical I'm going to keep it going, I know he would have continued it on. I'm a few years behind so I've got to catch up now.

Thanks for sharing,keep going with the album's
Does anybody take good pictures of albums? The lighting and focus is different on every coin.
Looks like nice stuff!
Nice collection you got there. I think Dansco has a nice presentation appearance.

That's quite a nice collection that you have inherited.
You're doing right by your grandpa in keeping it going and you'll likely have fun along the way, as well.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

This is another way of keeping one of your wonderful memories of your grandpa with you for as long as you live. I’m sure he was (and is) so very proud of you. Happy Hunting!

Great inheritance....Your Grandpa put together a nice group of coins... I bet some of the rest of the collection is interesting too.... Cheers, RickO
Very nice collection! It’s a nice tribute to your Grandfather that you’re continuing to add to the album.
@ricko My grandpa collected dimes, and had lots of pennies. His last official purchase he made a few months before he passed was a 1909 S VDB, he was pleased to show me and brought joy to him to have finally got it. Along the way years back he came across 2 1922 no D Lincoln's to which my grandma has them as well. Plus he has some coins that his father had as well. Wish I knew everything he had but I'm sure I'll know more someday.

It's a fortunate person who has family that is interested in their lives.
Albums have a whole different character then slabs. Enjoy!

Cool story and nice coins. Now get Grandma to unlock the rest so you can get a look at them...
Congrats on your plans to keep collecting those series from your Grandfather! Any luck yet with the missing halves?
@DBSTrader2 I just got the album a few days ago, but plan to as soon as I can.
