I'd love someone to drop a dime on the one of my siblings who raided the collection to go buy ... something stupid.

I collect Texas Quarters. And those silver presdient coins. And the gold ones. In an envelope, because they are fun.

I have a collection of the state quarters, but just one of each. I carry a gold president dollar, William K. Polk, with me at all times. You never know. Maybe I'll start collecting coins in my retirement.

Cool. The ones I own are only George Washington (Great) and John. Fucking. Tyler.. Although carrying that Polk coin might save you one day if it is near your heart. Search: Theodore Roosevelt Assassination attempt of 1912.

It's in my jeans pocket, so not likely. As for John Tyler, "As of October 2017, Tyler has two living grandsons through his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler, making him the earliest former president with living grandchildren. Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. Lyon Tyler Jr. resides in Franklin, Tennessee, and Harrison Tyler maintains the family home, Sherwood Forest Plantation, in Charles City County, Virginia." Tyler was also the first man to succeed to the presidency after the death of the elected office-holder. There was some question as to whether the Constitution said that the VP only got the powers and responsibilities and not the actual office or whether the VP became the President. That's what I love about the United States, we make it up as we go along and we're pretty good at getting it right. Eventually. Most of the time.

I can make this achievement list sixteen times longer for any president that isn't William Henry Harrison. That's Tyler's only claim to fame.
