<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TXRanchMedic, post: 1718358, member: 50770&quot;]That&#039;s one of my interests with coins.&nbsp; I like old coins and especially the ones that have the potential for a historical event tied to it.&nbsp; I want to believe that my 1906-S half and dime rode out the quake while in the Mint&#039;s vault.&nbsp; I also want to believe that my 1905-S coins were recovered from the aftermath and changed hands several times to rebuild.&nbsp; My 1907-S coins probably helped rebuild, but to me, it shows that the Mint was back into production.&nbsp; My 1900-O Morgan might have been exposed to the Galveston hurricane, and my 1901-O Morgan might have been sent to Galveston to fund the clean-up.&nbsp; I&#039;m still working finding 1900-O Barbers.&nbsp; I like my 100 year old coins that have some wear on them.&nbsp; They have a story that will go untold.&nbsp; I have 7 Mercury dimes that spent most of their lives inside a box...stacked together in the metal &quot;March of Dimes&quot; container that a relative never got to turn in.&nbsp; The intrigue of those Mercs outweigh (to me) a shiney high MS grade Merc that went straight to a box from the mint.&nbsp; I like some history attached to my coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
