Great! I will go back and look for the ruby and diamond piece. That would be great since it would match her ring!
Ruby is not her birthstone. There's a story behind that ring. I met the love of my life when my daughter was 10 or so. He gave me the ring for Valentine's Day. Well, 10 years later I lost him; but I continued to wear the ring to remind me that way back when I thought I would never find that kind of love...Frank showed me that it is indeed possible. So, every time I thought something was impossible; I would look at that ring and remember how sad I was when I met him and how my entire way of looking at life changed when I fell in love with him. Last year when I decided to hand that ring down to my daughter; I wrote a letter telling her the "story" and that I hoped that she would find someone to love and love her the same way. She cried and said it was the best gift she had ever gotten; except for when God gave her me...for a Mom. Still brings tears to my eyes.
And yes; I miss her so badly it hurts physically. Hopefully, she will be home for good by Christmas.
I don't know a whole lot about the coins other than with the price of silver right now; they are probably worth more for weight; rather than being collector's items. The only one that might be worth a lot more than it's face value is the Liberty dime; since it is in such great condition. I never meant to be a coin collector...I just picked these up working as a cashier.
Looking forward to seeing the new pictures. = )
And thanks for all your help!
