Short story

#1 Unread post by Morganalan »

I was born in northern Nevada in the fifties and my father worked for First National Bank in Carson City. On some weekends a few of the employees were allowed to open the vault and sort through silver dollars and replace with paper dollars. Some of my earliest memories are running through the bank while these fellows sorted through bags of coins. My father accumulated a very nice collection of Morgans and many CC's. He got me started collecting pennies in books at an early age. He has since passed away and left me his collection of coins. They are all raw coins and it is a large task (as most of you know no doubt) learning all there is to know about grading and submitting. Just became a member of PCGS and will be sending out 1878 cc's as my first submission. Just thought I'd share my story.. He was a great father!!
