<p>[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 1660733, member: 19250"][ATTACH]244860.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]244861.vB[/ATTACH]This old gal has been in my collection since I was 7 years old! It was given to me by my father. Who paid for it our of his pocket when he was a young banker in Baltimore. Since I was born in South Baltimore not far from Fort Mchenry {Home of our National Anthem} and with the war of 1812 being fought there...it has always been my favorite. Yes as a YN I did clean it...My bad I know...in the early 60's cleaning a coin was not a mortal sin. </p><p>Every time I hold it.... my mind wonders if it was there in Baltimore durring the Battle. Maybe in a pocket of one of the defenders of the fort....or one of the other forts that surround Baltimore harbor. Was it at the battle of Nort Point where the defenders cut off the British from out flanking the city to its east. Was it in the pocket of the sniper who took out the British commanding officer that forced the British to retreat? Who knows.... I do know it's not for sale nor ever will be...just passed on .....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
