mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 01/01/2009 10:28 pm I don't want to go into details specifically, but I am selling a large military collection for a widow and while going through things a few months ago found three large coin binders. When I saw them, I mentioned that I would like to buy them at some point for my son (who is 2) for when he gets older. Well, although she never met him I received a box for Christmas for him and one of the binders was inside. It is a truely generous gift. I was speechless. For those who are interested and would like to read, this is what was in the binder: Great Britian Farthing 1909 1918 1920 1922 1939 1940 1941 1942 1943 Half Penny 1888 1898 1904 1906 1907 1909 1911 1915 1917 1918 1919 1923 1928 1929 1930 1931 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 1947 1949 1963 Penny 1861 (2) 1862 (3) 1863 1865 1870 (2) 1875 1879 1881 1883 1885 1888 1893 1896 1897 1900 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1934 1935 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1953 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 3 Pence 1916 1918 1919 1921 1934 1938 1940 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 6 Pence 1920 1933 1937 1943 1945 1 Shilling 1922 1928 1937 1938 1 Florin 1921 2 Shillings 1939 1940 Half Crown 1943 1941 Expeditionary Forces N.

tornandfrayed75 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 01/01/2009 10:36 pm Nice gift indeed. That beats my birthday gift for sure. BTW, what happened to the other two books? Report this Post to the Staff
coinsrus Valued Member United States 227 Posts	Posted 01/01/2009 10:38 pm That is Amazing Report this Post to the Staff
mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 01/01/2009 10:59 pm The other books are still there. She also has a ton of stamps. It's too bad I don't collect them anymore. I will just try to buy them at some point. I forgot to add that there was also an 1812 British Copper Company "one penny" coin and an 1816 Edward Stephens "Wellington & Erin Go Bragh" copper coin. Both in nice condition and until I saw them, didn't know they existed. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 01/02/2009 12:20 am A truly amazing gift! That deserves more than just a thank you card, but since you are helping a widow out with the military collection, I will say this is life balancing out! Well done.
