MANSFIELD - A Massachusetts family says their hearts were touched by a surprising act of kindness. They didn't know that some rare coins were mixed in with an item they sold at a yard sale until they were returned with a note.

Great story...

Follow up: The family didn't know anything about the coins, and later spent them at face value to buy cigarettes at the local gas station.

Beautiful ... there is a distinct divide between this story and the one I've seen more frequently. "They should have known what they had."
