    Welcome

    With sadness in my heart I announce the recent death of my cousin Raulito.

    A few years back I did a thread on a Love token he had gifted me when I visited him in Puerto Rico.. LOVE TOKEN - Is now mine - 1883 Silver Dime - 2nd Thread | Coin Talk

    This coin will now be one of the most special coins in my entire collection

    Sleep In Peace my dear cousin :(

    My grandmother had an 1883 dime love token too. It was her birth year.

    That's one of the cool things about this hobby. Sometimes a coin has a story attached, and the story makes the coin forever a treasure.

    My cousin survived 53 years from Epilepsy.. An insect bite and bad reaction took his life.. He went into cardiac arrest and didn't make it. :(
    It happened in their 2nd home in Florida.

    I feel your pain. My Nephew @26 passed away from "C" shortly after he finished building his dream house. At least he had the pleasure of seeing it completed. The house remains in the family.

    I did a 2 hour Metal Detecting hunt to try to keep my mind off the situation. But it still hit me that he's gone.. I'm so sad
