Dads Stuff Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I went to my brother's yesterday to pick up 2 more boxes of coins. Inside one of the boxes, was a smaller box marked Eagles. Inside that box was 8 little blue boxes containing 7 Silver proof eagles. In the 8th box, I found this: Isn't she lovely!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recehan Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 sweet!! btw my roman number is kinda rusty but... is it 1986? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Stuff Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 The roman numeral does translate to 1986. From what I can tell, that is the year my dad switched from collecting individual loose coins and began collection commemoratives, mint sets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the amazing find. Just imagine what else he had tucked away! You know, that would be wonderful. What a thought!! Now if I can find someone who wants to collect Lincolns and Jeffersons and someone else who is interested in Mercs and Roosies, I'd be well on my way to buying this lovely.

Dads Stuff Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I don't get to keep anything. I have to buy it if I want it (at the same price I would sell to you). I don't know if I can afford it. But I would love to keep it!! It is a beautiful coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
