<p>[QUOTE="manny9655, post: 5164520, member: 112417"]I had an 1878 nickel 3-cent piece that had been given to me by my grandmother. I have no idea where she got it because she didn't come to this country until 1923. She knew nothing about coins. As you're probably aware, that was a proof-only coin, only 2,350 minted. Mine was a disturbed proof and probably would have graded XF at least, maybe AU. Well, in 1981 I sold it for $900 to buy an engagement ring & wedding band. I ended up breaking the engagement off. Never got the rings back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
