<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3344576, member: 92655"]When I was a teenager I had a small coin store near my house. That shop became my daily hang out. The shop had an old worn half eagle that I oogled over every time I went in the place. The shop keeper offered to let me give him a few dollars or whatever I had each week toward that glimmering gold coin. I took that man my lunch money, cut his grass... Anything I could do to get closer to owning that dream coin. I still remember the day I paid the last few dollars like it was yesterday.... Never would have happened if that shop owner didn’t take a liking to me..... Just last mother’s day I had that half eagle made into a necklace for my mom. She was my biggest supporter as I worked and dreamed of that coin. Seemed a fitting place for that half eagle to end up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
