My Grandpas coin collection given to me.

My Grandpa's coin collection given to me.

My grandpa recently died of cancer, which is why I was back Home in Illinois and about a year ago he tried giving me his little coin pouch full of old coins. I told him that I would eventually get them and he didn't need to give them to me then. I didn't want him giving stuff away and giving up with his fight. This just might have worked because he fought it over a year! He also was a huge patch collector and he had a lot of display cases so I looked through his Coins that he had passed to me and displayed some of his better ones in one of the cases. Heres a list of what he had and a picture.

Your Grandpa was a good guy. He left you something he knew you would enjoy as much as he did. Probably more, because every time you look at those coins, you will think of him.
Congrats
