<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 1744678, member: 12789&quot;]No pics, and it is in my SDB - but my favourite coin is one my grandfather gave me when he was 85 years old - he had owned the coin for then almost 80 years.&nbsp; When he was 5-6 years old he lost his pinkie finger in a corn shucker machine on their farm in the upper Midwest.&nbsp; His family took him into town, an overnight journey, to see the doctor but there was nothing they could do other than stitching up his hand.&nbsp; When they came back the next morning his older brother gave him an 1867 2 cent piece that he had been saving to spend in town on penny candy - so that my grandfather could spend it when they next went into town.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of spending it he saved it - for all that time until he gave it to me since he knew I loved old coins.&nbsp; The coin has only had two owners in nearly 116 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
