Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2105173, member: 19250"]Yeah the light box using leds  does give them a different look. Not been cleaned as I have the history on these two coins.They been kept in a safety deposit box the last 82 years. They were given as a gift both coins at the same time in 1935.For his 13th Birthday to  this friend of mine husband.When she showed them to me they were in the same small box that they were given  in.Along with a very small note with them.This lady husband  was an B 17 pilot during WWII  he flew 30 missions  over Germany! He was a member of the "Lucky Bastards" club. As many of the B -17 Pilots   were lost during their missions. She also gave me a roll of short snorter  notes as  well as his flight training hours book ,a note book hand written  by him with notes of each mission.He even kept the receipts for items issued to him. No kidding  I was in aw as I'm   holding history  in my hands.One receipt was for a canteen ,cover,and medal cup. The next was for a colt 45 auto and hostler.I truly  felt honored to hold such items. And may post some with the sir name with held for privacy  reasons.He kept everything  it was just amazing ! !!![/QUOTE]
