Never seen one! We're hijacking the thread...thanks for sharing. These are truly priceless items. They commemorate a part of our lives and tell part of our story. Actually the fact that it is numbered adds value.
I don't consider it a highjack at all. The thread is about our lucky coin(s) and I'm very glad Sallent shared his with us. Very cool @Sallent.
What a great story, @Sallent! No matter how much or how little the token is worth on the open market, I'm sure to you it is priceless
Kool story Sallent........makes you rethink the current atmos in the US at the moment (nuff said. No politico). Beisbol........I love El Beisbol. This one has been in my pocket since early January of this year (2017).
Never thought about carrying anything to make me lucky. If I did though, it would probably be something cheap. Still wouldn't know what it would be though.
Maybe I should carry these two coins together with me to always remind me of the positiveness of one of the most powerful souls.
Fascinating post, Curtisimo! I have to be truthful. Yes, I carry a lucky coin. It's not ancient. I'll be celebrating my 9th year this weekend and God willing I'll receive a IX YEAR upgrade.
One of my favorite commemorative coins of the modern era of US commemoratives. I'm curious, do you carry it in a shirt pocket or pant pockets. It looks like it's gotten some interesting toning and wear in a very short time.
I carry this a worn 1900-O Morgan Dollar that my father gave to me over 40 years ago. It's been carried for a long time and it's one of my most cherished possessions.
Not a lucky token, but I do have in my wallet a 2 dollars banknote. Because here in France (especially where I live, far from big cities) an amazing amount of individuals have seldom seen an actual dollar bill, even less so a 2 bucks one, and because it's not the commonest denomination even in the USA, I like to have one with me to show off on occasions. Quite a bunch of people don't even believe it's the real thing Q
