About Me:

A proud retired grandfather with 4 young grandsons. I have always been an amateur coin collector. Inherited a few coins from my father and other family members and over 60 years saved U.S. coins on my own. Many bought direct from the 3 U.S. Mints. In 2017 and 2018 I put together a 100 year penny collection with all mint marks of each year into 3 sets, 1 for each of 3 grandsons (one grandson is a super lovable and happy special needs individual), except for a very few rare and expensive coins I did not have. Gave to them as Christmas presents.  Went on line and started buying fill ins where i had only one or two of a given year or mint mark. In 2019 I finished the same project for 3 dime collections that were Christmas presents. Finished the same on 3 nickel collections in 2020. Took 2021 and 2022 to complete 3 quarter collections for them, and my daughter asked for one for herself. In 2018 I began placing my  "extras" in my personal inventory by year and mint mark for sale on the USA Coin site hoping I might assist someone as other sellers helped me over the last 6+ years.
