<p>[QUOTE="girldly, post: 2149189, member: 74386"]Jim, it probably is nothing...and I thank you so much for asking people to wait and see. I respect everyone on this site, I am certain they know much more than I do.</p><p>I suppose being hopeful is a bad thing, my husband tells me not to think about it....but it is difficult not to. Yes, it has magnetic properties in it, and yes, the color is unique...I suppose I get affected emotionally when I am told by members that you have nothing...call and get the coin back....sure I know it could be nothing. I said to my husband the day it was sent that it is a roll of the dice. All I can say is when I put it in the sun for the photo of the three coins made in 1971- color brown; 1972 - color - pewter/silver; 1973 - color brownish red. I put a magnet to it, and it attached to the magnet. I further know my husband has had it in the same box (little red and white milk box from grade school) and that it was not out in the world for long from person to person. I did not know he had it until I was putting my dads Wheaties into holders. So, as an honest, hard working mom, all I can do is give the facts that I know, give the facts that a certified coin dealer told me, and wait for PCGS to notify me. As of tonight, no emails yet. I think today I got upset over a very persistent member telling me to forget it totally. That hurt...All I want is to hold on to a dream of paying of my childrens' college loans...that would mean the world to us. They both worked so hard...and their debts make starting a life very difficult. To be torn apart repeatedly with a negative attitude without the verdict being in, well, truthfully, again, it bothers me in my heart. I am 50 percent certain someone is right....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
