<p>[QUOTE="Moekeever, post: 8475270, member: 76158"]I go to the local coffee shop a few times a week. An older gentleman has taken to sit and chat will we on many occasions. One day the subject of coins came up. I told him about my incurable sickness of collecting Large Cents. He says he doesn’t collect coins be he has a few that his dad found we they lived near Boston. He stated they were found between the walls of an old house being repaired. He didn’t know what kind or how many. Well this morning he comes in and sits down and pulled coin’s from his pocket. I spy 4 flying eagles, two half dimes, a bust quarter and this beautiful 1803 large cent. I asked him if he wanted to sell them and he said not really I just wanted to show them to you. I told him I would really like to purchase the large cent. I pulled out a $50 and said will this do, he said since it’s your favorite coin it’s yours. We continued to talk over coffee and as he started to leave I told him the coffee was on me today, he just chuckled. I’m still grinning. It’s got some corrosion and a few dings but I think she’s beautiful. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1501116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1501117[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
