Yeah it was just neat to find something that meant a lot to me. Now my collection will always have a little memory of my grandfather included.

 I forgot to mention, my grandfather was born in 1922 and passed away in 2006. |

I read the title and thought you got something from Don.
Very nice find, better than getting it from Don.

Speaking of Don, I haven't seen him in a while. I got a new position at work, bought and renovating a home, and got a new puppy. My free time quickly dwindled to nil.
Jbuck, my grandpa was born in 1925 and passed in 2011. Great guy that I learned a ton from.

Sounds like a great find! I also have one coin from my grandma: she once game me the only war money she had left, with a personal note. I still have both.
Any chance of posting a pic of the 'poor' coin? Would be nice to see how good or bad it is. :)

I will see if I can find some time this weekend. The wife has me working on tearing out the old bathroom down to the joists and studs.

That is a treasure indeed!
My father was born in 1922. (My goodness! I must be old!)

Neat story! Coincidentally, I also have a 1922-S Peace dollar, which I got from my great-grandfather (1914-1988) via my grandmother(1945-present). It also has a number of marks in it, which look more like they came from a fork. Although I don't have any close relatives born in 1922, I did manage to find a great-great-aunt born that year, who passed away in 1980. I would like to see some pictures of your coin!

I would use that 22-S as a pocket piece and conversation piece .When ever you take it out of your pocket to show people you can tell them '' I Got This From My Grandpa'' Greatest man the world had ever known ! Excuse me , need to dry my eyes  |

Sometimes a coin's value has nothing to do with numismatics... This one sounds like a keeper for sure!! I wish I had some coins from my grandfather, but I did get his old Lionel train, so I'm not complaining...
