well yesterday I was at my grandparents house and they know i'm a big coin collector and I brought up the subject on pennies and my grandma said hold on zach stay there I'll be back. so she goes up stairs when she comes down she hands me a super old HUMO cigar bax that was really heavy. it was kinda rusty so we put a news paper under it so i opended it and there was like 30-40 rolls of pennies. half of them were weat pennies 3-were steel and the rest were BU pennies from the 70's. I was thrilled. then she said theres more so we wen't upstairs and there was a safe that i had know idea they had so we opend it and i was stunned. I had 100 proof and mint sets in it and a tin box full of forigen coin some were german from wwII and another bigger box filled with us coins. In there were at least 40-50 V nickles 20 morgans and peace dollars,"one morgan was an 1890cc", andmy favorite coin of all an1893 isabella quarter in xf condition. that was just some of the coins but any way i asked my grandma were did these come from she told me that they were her dad's who dide before i was born and she said they're mine now. :thumbsup: I could not beileve it i gave my grandma a big hug and kiss and thanked her a million times. that was one of the best days of my life.

Great Story and now you have some coins that even us guys that have been collecting for years don't have. Good Job.
