<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1025580, member: 23626&quot;]I hear you loud and clear. Imagine finding that coin here ? How great is that ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My personal favorite is a 1868 British Silver Shilling that was holed for a necklace. Very well machined to accept what could be a ribbon. Then it was crudely scratched with JMW and BVW with what may have been a pen knife. A gift worn by a girl given to a lover or husband (hence the same last ititial). Where did he go ? War, the States ? What stories are held here ? Every time I look at that beat up, damaged piece of Silver, my imagination runs wild. I would love to know it&#039;s story.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Yes, a Morgan that rode in a saddle bag, slid across a dusty barroom counter, bought a bag of beans or seed has history. The coins held by the wealthy, straight from the mint to behind a glass, didn&#039;t &quot;do&quot; much. But those who fed families, etc conjure a history. IMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
