<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chlorinated, post: 8519601, member: 78147&quot;]Just the other day I got a very generous gift from a dear friend of our family. It&#039;s not worth much, but the thought and history behind it, is what makes it special. </p><p><br /></p><p>My wife and I have a friend who lives down south. She is immune compromised and has not left her house is close to 3 years. Before COVID we would visit yearly, but have not since for obvious reasons. </p><p><br /></p><p>Today, she sent a care package for our young son. We call her grandma and that is how our son knows her. In the package was a note with a list of things for him, and one for me....a coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is a 1971 Ike in the original brown mint packaging. The note mentioned that her grandfather purchased the coin when they went on sale 50 years ago and then he passed it onto her. Knowing I am a coin collector, she has now passed it onto me.</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1506235[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1506236[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1506237[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I have many special coins in my collection, but this one holds a special place in my heart. My family is incredibly fortunate to have her in our lives, and that makes this &quot;just because&quot; give all the more special. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a wonderful day![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
