BadThad- gah, I'm sorry to hear that that happened to your original collection. But out of curiosity, why do you hold onto the ike? Is it a sort of memorial to your first collection?


It's a piece of family history. We lost 99% of what we had in that fire. The coin is an amazing survivor! Not to mention, it also lived through a tornado too!

MrRick- haha. Thanks! My grandfather found it on the ground in a parking lot in the 1970s. I'll take more guesses as to what it is.
