My granddaddy (mother's side) came to Virginia Beach on a quick visit before going to the other side of the state for more visiting before returning to Texas. Anyway, I practically got the entire day off on Thursday so I could visit with him and, with my birthday coming up on Monday, he had brought with him my birthday present: 4 Roman coins that are around 2,000 years old. He also got me a book so I could look them up and figure out how old they are.
Seeing granddaddy is a rare treat, especially since he spent the majority of my life in Italy, so any chance to be with him I jump at! It helps that we have coin collecting as a common hobby to stay connected.
Yes. I collect coins.
