TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/17/2008 10:03 pm A 1894-S Barber half. In G-4 or so condition, no less, but he received the 114-year old coin as change from it. What a find. He found it while visiting his ill grandpa on the other coast of Florida, and upon his return he gave it to me. I'm carrying it around as a pocket piece now, to replace the old pocket piece I lost- a 1920 G-6 Walking Liberty half given to me years ago by my own grandpa. Oh, how I wish I hadn't lost it... All in all, I have a neat pocket piece 26 years my old one's senior. Can't complain. Report this Post to the Staff

TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 2:43 pm hahahaha. How's "received from a friend by a parking meter?" and yeah I think it was a reject too. That makes the most sense now that I think about it. Florida's weird. Report this Post to the Staff
