<p>[QUOTE="kirispupis, post: 7342253, member: 118780"]When I was a kid, my parents would constantly take me to gem shows. I would agree to go (though not like I had a choice) because they often had dealers with similar bowls. I'd spend the entire time sifting through the bowl. My greatest "prizes" were an 1835 British East India Co 1/4 Anna, an 1861 British penny, a 1797 US penny (extremely worn), and an 1852 Bank of Upper Canada penny. I believe none of these is worth much, but at the time I thought it was amazing I could own something so old (I knew nothing about ancients).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
