Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 12:59 am I used to have one... An 1888 Morgan dollar, one of the most common year/MM, but it was given to me when I was 8 years old by my now diceased grandfather... It was my first silver coin I have ever got, yet 4 years ago, I made the mistake of not using a safe or security box at a bank... and it was stolen by a life-long friend who became addicted to drugs... The sad thing is that I lost 2 important things that day, a piece of my history, but more importantly, a friend... Report this Post to the Staff
HalfDollarDave Valued Member United States 79 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 07:10 am Every time I went over to my great uncle Drexel's house when I was a little kid he would always give both me and my brother an old Kennedy half. He said we were supposed to use it if we saw a cute girl who looked thirsty and could use a soda (I'm now pretty sure he just wanted to get rid of them, the man hated Kennedy with a purple passion). Every time he gave one to me I saw how big the coin was, how much it weighed compared to normal coins, how perfectly it fit into my palm, and thought "Wow, this must really be worth something".

bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 04/17/2011 2:23 pm Not a single coin, but Mercury dimes are the ones I've been chasing since I was about 10yrs old. I love those things...worn and near unrecognizable, pristine and FSB...I love 'em all! Also, the one in my avatar...my first Ancient Roman. It's well worn, but I think that just gives it character. And it's a big, chunky coin...very cool to show people! Report this Post to the Staff
