[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1574538, member: 22585"]I'm flattered you remembered! It's my pleasure to share. This coin is a piece of family history to me and it's value has no bearing on why it means so much to me. It has been in the family since 1810 and my dad was the curriator of it for over 50 years until it was given to me a few years ago. In fact, no one even realized it was valuable until my dad looked it up in the 60's, when he started collecting coins. This poor lady was just thrown in drawers and jewelry boxes throughout it's life. It would certainly have been lost if not for my dad taking it out of the junk drawer when my grandfather died. It brings me so much joy when my dad talks about this coin. This is why I started collecting coins. [COLOR=#666666][FONT=Verdana][B]S-266 die state b[/B] [/FONT][/COLOR] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn2.coinnection.com/shared_66cbeae79089f1471685aee409e3c4a3f1050a535287e0e9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn12.coinnection.com/shared_1ce06d67a2d5c8e70fb13712a123702bf550a5352e3a1de.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
