Helping Dad

[Keith Lenahan]

Been helping Dad with a little yard work and afterwards helping him sorts through remnants of his coin collection. Most of which has disappeared due to sticky fingered people. Someone helped their self to a bag of silver dollars and halves, a three legged buffalo and a complete set of SLQ's. We managed to find one 1914D wheat, at one time he had seven, and a 1922 plain wheat. I found a 1834 bust dime in a pile of wheats. I said that is beautiful and he said take it. I didn't find it metal detecting but had just as much fun looking through a part of my Dad's life that started when he was 9 years old. Might get a holder a put it on a necklace. Regards, Keith

Thats frustrating! Someone worked hard to get all that and then they come in and steal everything.

Sounds like a truly special day.

But, if you put the coin on a necklace, it better be a half inch thick chain.

Seriously, I think it might be better to such a special coin in a VERY safe place where you can look at it anytime you feel like, for the rest of your life.

HH!

Agree whole heartedly
