Sorencoins, please excuse some of the comments above. Obviously they have better coins than a young person like you, but it is great you got a free old coin. Your mother must be interested aso to tell friends about your hobby.Have fun! Jim
Come on guys, remember what it was like to get a free old coin, over a 100 years old when you were 10 yrs!
Thanks I know it's not really good condition but it goes in my books and any old coin from that date I'm happy with
I have books that have only what I could find in change and people gave me. I like the thrill of the hunt. Its not always about the best coin you can buy. How many of your buddies has a coin that old?
None of my buddies have a coin this old but I have made lots of them interested in coin collecting, coin roll hunting, metal detecting and other fun stuff
That coin has a lot more stories to tell than most. Great gift no matter how old you are. Congradulations.
