Her Great Aunt was given two of them when she was young and had them her whole life.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><b><span style="color: black">Now the really sad part</span></b><span style="color: black"> - When she passed, the better of the two $5 gold coins in the estate was pick by another relative and turned into a necklace. At that point god only knows what/how the coins were treated to determine which was in better shape to create this piece of jewelry. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :desk: :headbang: :rolling: </span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">During Erin&#039;s lifetime she believes her great aunt had kept them wrapped and stored in a soft cloth. When her aunt was younger she must have handled them some to have had any signs of ware.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">I guess they are more sentimental than anything. One thing for sure, Erin&#039;s is in better shape now that the other coin. She will continue to treat it with tender loving care until it passes to our daughter.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">Darryl</span></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><span style="color: black"><br /></span></span></p><p><span style="color: black"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
