Message:: [QUOTE="Bradley Trotter, post: 7509356, member: 101226"]I actually have a coin with a similar story myself [USER=94739]@YoloBagels[/USER]. It was about 2015 or so when I was still active with the Boy Scouts. Anyway, a scout I knew quite well came to me asking if I had a particular patch available to trade. He wasn't the type that traded patches, so he didn't have anything I was looking for at the time. Come to find out; he had apparently lost a patch from his first camping trip as a Boy Scout. At the time, if you wanted to trade patches, I was one of the go-to patch traders in my OA Lodge, and I had a reputation for trading patches for items such as belt buckles, vintage red epaulets, neckerchiefs, and anything else really as long as it was scout-related. Regardless, he somehow found out that I collected coins and offered a 1933 New Zealand 1/2 Crown in exchange for that particular patch. He wasn't a coin collector by any means and was all too eager to trade for that patch. I even told him that he'd be getting the worst end of that deal, but to him, that patch meant something sentimental, so I accepted the trade since it was mutually beneficial to both our goals. Anyway, here's the coin in question. [ATTACH=full]1297520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1297521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
