<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 891411, member: 21705&quot;]This is the first coin I ever purchased. It was a Christmas gift for my dad in 1968. My father got me into coin collecting before that though he never paid over face value for his collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember the thrill of riding the escalators up to the 8th floor of Foley&#039;s in downtown Houston where I thought I&#039;d died and gone to heaven. There in front of me was a counter with coins I&#039;d never seen. It was way beyond the occasional buffalo I could find. There were even cents with an INDIAN on them. Some were almost 100 years old!</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember thinking my dad would be thrilled if only I could afford to get him something that old. Is it the most valuable coin in my collection?</p><p><br /></p><p>It has been since I inherited it after my father&#039;s death in 2001.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/coins005-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/coins006-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
