<p>[QUOTE="K2Coins, post: 1460061, member: 30168"]This contest sound like a lot of fun! My name is Kyle, I am 15 years old and I have always been fascinated with coins ever since I was little. Every single cent that i ever make goes towards buying coins. When i was little, i don't remember my exact age, i received a 1892-s morgan dollar from my grandfathers brother, he said that it was my great great grandfathers coin that he carried around with him where ever he went. My grandfathers brother told me that he brought it with him when he volunteered to serve in WW1 and risked his life to save other people that were in his platoon and received 4 bronze stars and 2 silver stars. He told him that this coin was the only thing that was able to keep him alive during that war, so he gave it to his son (my great grandfather) when he was drafted into WW2 who carried it with him every single second. When he returned home after receiving 2 bronze stars and 1 silver star he had a 10 children, but gave it to one of his sons (my grandfathers brother) who was later drafted to serve in the Korean war where he also received 2 bronze stars and one silver star for infiltrating a Japanese fort. He also believed that this coin was able to keep him alive and always had someone looking over him when times were hard. Now, this coin has been handed down to me and it means everything, there is so much history behind it with my family that it makes it priceless. I carry this coin around with me no matter where i go and no matter what i do. Here are pictures:</p><p> [ATTACH]182139.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]182140.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>I hope this is good!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
