Seeking Info On Coins With History

It seems to me that you have the right requirements for collecting gallantry or historical medals.

The coin I received from my father and grandfather certainly mean a lot to me
but would it matter to you if my grandfather acquired a coin while he was overseas fighting in WW1?
(Not that I would sell them)

jbuck, right, something along those lines. I suppose the most obvious example would be hoard coins. Looks like Littleton does that sort of thing, but I'm not looking for some type of mass marketed coin marketed on TV.

I know what you're talking about, Buying coins from the local area I have come across a Walking Liberty half dollar, it's worn to the point it's dateless, the old gentleman whom I purchased some coins from had a story to go with it.

In the area where I live there used to be cotton fields, asparagus fields,milk and hay, a butcher, rabbits and eggs as well as other self reliant people who sold goods to produce a living.

from what I understood talking to this man,His Dad owned a hay field and was friends with the other people (merchants)who owned the other local business that sold the commodities of the day he said in those days this was a fairly closed community not a lot of outside money or income, they paid each other with this same half dollar for years, it passed from hand to hand sometimes multiple hands multiple times on a daily basis, the coin itself is far from a collector coin like I said the date is worn off, but the story was cool.
