Wow, wow, wow! What a great story and find. And an amazing and unexpected inheritance. Congrats on being able to keep it! Do be sure to store it properly with some desiccant packets in the safety deposit box, not all back vaults are climate controlled. Thanks for sharing your story and the pics!

Keep the family close and tight, do your best to not let this new windfall throw a kink into the family dynamic (especially for mom’s sake!!).

Good luck with everything.

Jed picked up a mint one about 4 years ago. I'm sure you can track down a picture of it.
It had sat is a safe for most of its life... it was in stunning condition.
