<p>[QUOTE=&quot;egri, post: 872025, member: 24872&quot;]I thought it would be a nice idea if we had a thread to share our favorite collecting stories, whether they be how we got certian coins, the stories behind the coins, or whatever.&nbsp; Basically, your favorite memories from collecting.&nbsp; I&#039;ll start:</p><p>My great-grandfather ran a pharmacy in Woonsocket (RI) from about the 1890&#039;s to the 40&#039;s or 50&#039;s.&nbsp; This was back when pharmacists made their own medicines, which enabled my great-grandfather to pick coins of interest for his collection, several of which I have today.&nbsp; One night, pouring rain about 10-15 minutes after closing, my granmother had gone in to pick him up.&nbsp; They had locked up, and were preparing to leave, when they heard a pounding at the door.&nbsp; They opened up, and a man came in apologizing for coming after closing, but he said he had a perscription that needed filling immeadiatly.&nbsp; So my great-gradfather filled it, and was paid with a 1922 Peace Silver Dollar.&nbsp; Since it was my grandmother&#039;s birth year, he gave it to her, and it was one of the few coins she was able to save when her house was robbed several years later.&nbsp; When my uncle started getting into coins, she gave it to him, then when I got in, my uncle gave it to me.&nbsp; I know this will sound corny, but I always think of my great-grandfather and grandmother whenever I look at it, and for that reason, is my favorite coin in my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
