Thanks for all your help

I lot of collectors have sent out the blue books I needed to help these boys complete one of the requirements of the merrit badge. I have been working with the boys every 2 hours every sunday for the last 4 weeks.Next week is the test and I am sure they are ready. The needed to know who's on every coin and currency.Last year of silver,Different grading services, Differences in proof and mint state. What the different mint marks were and where to locate them. I even brought 90% of my collection at the different meetings,so the boys can see how diverse my collection is. There eyes lit up as they got to see gold and platinum coins,Franklin halves,wheat pennies,mercury dimes,2 cent pieces,half dimes,Peace and morgan dollars. I even gave each student a circulated silver dime between 1946 and 1964. Hopefully for some,this will begin a new era and they maybe will become a collector in the this registery.

The picture below is only half the troop that came to the last meeting.BACK ROW Teresa Velazquez(Assistant Scout Master), Reginald Rice,Correy Estell,Philipe Gilchrist,Zachery Adams, FRONT ROW Jaden Aucoin Khai Green......Next week the whole troop should be there and I will update you with another picture .Thanks for all your help !!!
