My grandfather gave me a ten year old 2 cent piece from England, where he had just visited for 3 months. I&#039;ve always wanted to go to England, but at the moment we cannot afford it. As I look at the 2 cent piece now, it has really nice details with a ton of luster. But as I look closer, I note some minor scratches on the coin, especially on the crown of Queen Elizabeth and another one going across the 84 of the date. I turn the coin to look at the rim and it has a another scratch going through all six words of the motto. It must of been some sort of intentional damage, since it was pretty deep and going through all around the coin.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>But no matter how many scratches the coin has, it will always mean a lot to me since my grandfather gave it to me and it will always be something I will remember him by. </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>I can&#039;t wait until he goes to England again! I wonder what he&#039;ll bring back next time?</i></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, no, none of these are true. I just make them up as I go along. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ALL answers must be to me by next Monday, the 26th! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Thank you and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
