<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TC2007, post: 503732, member: 9248&quot;]Actually, I was going on hearsay alone when I first posted.&nbsp; The only explanation I have for the 1872 was the 1877 Mexican dollar I described (I was hoping that would have been my first trade dollar!).&nbsp; I asked my father-in-law about the bag of nickels, and he kind of looked at me a little sheepishly and said he couldn&#039;t tell a buffalo nickel from a buffalo.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had that same thought running through my mind too.&nbsp; This stash was basically out of our hands for almost a year, and anything can happen in that time.&nbsp; But, I&#039;ve never met the attorney, and he&#039;s been friends of my wife&#039;s family for years.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to look at it as a nice gift from a great guy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Funny story.&nbsp; My five-year old son loves coins as much as I do, and he came along with me to look at them last Friday night.&nbsp; He sat there with his big magnifying glass screaming out whenever he found a mint mark.&nbsp; Anyway, at the end of the evening, when my father-in-law told me he was giving me the coins, I had to tell him &quot;Absolutely not, they belong to you, your father collected these&quot;, etc.&nbsp; He fired back, &quot;You love coins and you&#039;re the reason I insisted on getting these!&quot;&nbsp; We were going back and forth for a while, when I see Brendan, tears in his eyes, trying to lift the box off the chair saying, &quot;If you don&#039;t want them Dad, I&#039;ll take them!&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
