Anthony86 Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 05/30/2017 10:20 pm This is a true story. This past Christmas my wife was in a store and over heard an old lady say she wished she had money to buy her grandkids fire crackers for the New Year's Day to pop. My wife said she would give her $50. My wife didn't know this lady and the lady was from another town. The lady asked for my wife's address and she said she had a coin she would mail her. A couple months later, this was the coin the lady mailed to my wife. I freaked out when I saw the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

oober Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 05/31/2017 9:52 pm Maybe I'm a little off, but I would send the woman another 50-100 back. That is just way to generous IMO. I never have a problem doubling my money, but 6 fold is insane. That's just me. Nice though. Report this Post to the Staff

She likely saw the $10 denomination on it and decided to re-pay some of your expense not realizing it was a $350 coin. Just my 2 cents. EDIT: I just saw it was a 1/4 oz piece and changed the amounts above. ANA #R3154474 Edited by BH1964 05/31/2017 11:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
