Somehow the coin hobby seems to inspire people to come up with the most creative stories about the history of some pieces: inherited from a grandparent, in the family for years, given by a mysterious indian who had traveled to Egypt, handed by general De Gaulle himself on a purple pillow while wearing a bunny suit, etc.




Once a French lady showed me her collection, which included several gold coins. She then told me that she had something very rare and valuable that had been given to her by a visitor from America, who had told her that only a few of this particular coin had been made... I was quite intrigued. She unlocked a little jewellery box and got out... a tarnished 1964 Kennedy half in about XF condition!

I think many of us have our "learning" pieces. I know I have my fair share. I keep them as a reminder.
