<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 11400936, member: 42034&quot;]I should mention that my aunt &amp; her husband owned a Polish Kelbosa shop.&nbsp; She passed away last year at 102.&nbsp; They saved many old coins and loved to collect silver since the late 60&#039;s or 70&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once, I don&#039;t know when, a customer came in and wanted to spend a $20 gold piece.&nbsp; Of course, she took it.&nbsp; I saw it a few years ago and vaguely recall the date as 1898 or 1899 (think it was 98), P-mint.&nbsp; Beautiful condition with not a bagmark on it as it never was stored in a bag.&nbsp; It had a touch of friction so possibly an AU-58 today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course her children are saving it.&nbsp; An interesting note is that on the other side of my family, my maternal grandmother (born 1899) used to own some rental properties near Philly.&nbsp; She told of collecting the rents in $20 gold pieces but never saved any.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
