Re: “When they graduate, we'll see what they owe on student loans and likely pay them off for them. No sense starting off life with a lead weight tied to yer leg..”We covered Joey's college expenses. I agree that kids shouldn't start their careers with anchors around their necks. If college makes no financial sense, kids shouldn't go.

We caught a lucky break when Joey was accepted into his school's postgraduate program. Instead of having to pay for a Master's education, he gets paid for the work he does and will eventually have two more degrees for free. He doesn't get paid much, but around $35,000 per year, free tuition, and free healthcare. My wife and I cover his rent, - so he's doing okay.

BTW, Joey isn't sure if he wants to continue his education after the Masters Degree. He's getting awfully tired of being a lowly student and now has some big tech companies courting him. It'll be his decision.Re: “That collection should be become a family heirloom for yer son one day!”Agreed! This may shock you, but we have one or two heirlooms to pass his way one day. His problem will be where to put them. (Maybe in a barn... in New Hampshire!)

In the case of silver, I see it more as a bit of security in the event TEOTWAWKI occurs in the next few years. (And it will.) I suggest you keep your coins.

That's really neat De!

I need to take all my Morgan Silver dollars to get an appraisal on them myself. Late 1800's thru early 1900's.

I have around 25 of them. I don't know why I am hanging on to them other than I would not mind if they stayed in the family or even got passed on to my oldest grandchildren who are in college. My youngest two in Virginia are still in elementary school..

II think my grandson who was the football player but no longer, will graduate with very high honors next year as he has the highest GPA in his class. Possibly the valedictorian.. He has been nationally recognized and inducted into some society for students who both play sports and yet have an extremely high GPA taking honors classes. He's a very bright young man but you would not know that to talk with him. He is pretty shy around people but he is very serious about his studies and grades. I am very proud of him. He decided to not play football this year and gave up his scholarship he received. My wife and I made up the difference for him as I am actually glad he is not going to wind up with a lifelong injury nagging at him or getting crippled like I am. It's what grandparents do if they can for their grandkids. I have also financially helped my granddaughter to a similar if not more of an extent with her tuition at her school.

When they graduate, we'll see what they owe on student loans and likely pay them off for them. No sense starting off life with a lead weight tied to yer leg..

We believe that God blessed us financially in our lives and for a reason. Those grandchildren which the Bible declares to be "Arrows in a quiver" are why we set aside funds to help. We'll see what their parents do but whatever the shortfall we will make it up..

Great job on the auction..That collection should be become a family heirloom for yer son one day!

Congrats on a great buy!
