About Me
About Me:
I was born in 1948, and love coins and have for many years, but only seriously started collecting certified coins during the COVID-19 pandemic to stay busy. Prior to the pandemic, I had old Lincoln pennies from my mother-in-laws bakery change drawer and some Morgan Silver Dollars. I now have a wide variety of US coins. My great x6 grandfather is Benjamin Franklin and I searched for and found his coins, medals and commemoratives, both PCGS and NGC. Then I started to get others as you can see.
In Search Of:
A few Morgans (the 3 hard ones) and some uncertified Barber Halves
Personal Collection:
Certified Silver Eagles, Morgans, Franklins, Peace and uncertified Liberty Walkersbers halves, Indian and Lincoln cents, large coppers, moderns.
