I often wonder if the particular coin/s held a special significance to the original owner - too bad those 5c can't talk! Report this Post to the Staff

wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 10:32 pm Yes, that's a very good possibility. Possibly it could be similar to a "family ring" - twins born in 1916 and a 3rd child in 1917, safely tucked away in a soldiers belongings as he entered WW1 midway. Report this Post to the Staff
