In an earlier post I asked about whether damage to an old coin totally devalued the coin. The picture I showed was of an 1832 large cent. one of my CT friends responded that since I had paid almost $7.00 for the coin it had not lost all its value, though I probably would not get much more for it should I decide to sell it. I stopped and thought about this, and the fact that in the next week or so my grand daughter will be making her annual summer trip to grandpa's house. When I think about the hours we will spend going through the coins I am saving that will be hers someday. There are many of these low grade old coins that she will look at and then want to get on the computer and learn all she can about where they come from. We will spend a lot of time over the next week her and I talking coins and when she goes home at the end of it she will take one of the treasures home with her to lock away in her secret place where she keeps her "pappa treasures." When I look at it that way, those old worn out coins are priceless!!!!!!!!!!!:hail::hail:
My hole family has been collecting since they got to the USA,in 1879.so there are many I deem priceless. this one the guard at Ellis Island let my great great grandpa keep.
