<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7823546, member: 10461&quot;]I grew up being told that I am a descendant of William Bradford, the man on the coin, though I have never seen the full family tree confirming this.&nbsp; I do believe it to be true, however.&nbsp; This is through my maternal line (Radeker).&nbsp; I&#039;m nearly certain that my grandmother was a member of the Mayflower Society.&nbsp; My mother still gets the quarterly publications.</p><p><br /></p><p>Family lore once had it that my maternal grandmother or one of her relatives owned a 17th century silver candlestick (or pair of them?) which had belonged to Bradford, but again, that’s misty legend.&nbsp; I never saw it/them when we were dividing up her estate in 1993, though there were other treasures.&nbsp; I do find the candlestick rumor plausible, given my grandmother’s quite affluent background.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of this, the Pilgrim Tercentenary half has always been a “must have” coin for me.&nbsp; Below are the two examples I have owned; my previous one first and then the one I have now (which, like the coin in the OP, is also in an old NGC &quot;no-line-fatty&quot; holder).</p><p><br /></p><p>Neither of these came down as family heirlooms- I bought them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1344446[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1344447[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
