<p>[QUOTE="Hommer, post: 2240269, member: 73266"]It's not terrible nor valuable, at least not to me, but I found this when I was a kid working in a grocery store after school. I've had it for nearly 40 years. It has a name on it and I asked around at the time, to see if anybody knew the man who's name was on it, but never did find anyone who did. It has a number on it also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, about 5 years ago I was going through some stuff and ran across it again. The internet is great for finding things that you didn't know existed. I searched the name and lo and behold it popped up. With the name was a WW2 military ID number that matched the one on the coin. The guy was born in 1911 in the same county I was, and he enlisted on June 6th, 1942. But that's all that I found. It would have been great if I could have gotten it back to him because I know he carried it for a long time.[ATTACH=full]441740[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]441744[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
