<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McBlzr, post: 2601272, member: 4027&quot;]Dear Secret Santa,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for the wonderful 1962 US Proof Set.</p><p>You opened a Time Capsule in my life.</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1962,&nbsp; I was a newspaper boy for the Dayton Daily News</p><p>in Dayton, Ohio at 14 years old. My Dad said lets take some</p><p>of your earnings and order 5 Proof Sets from the US Mint.</p><p>We had bought a 1960 &amp; 1961 from a small Coin &amp; Hobby Shop.</p><p>The five sets arrived from the US Mint in secure packaging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later that year the church we attended was building a new </p><p>church building. The builders had made what is called a corner </p><p>stone dated 1962. They asked if any church members would like</p><p>to donate something to put in the hollow corner stone for a </p><p>time capsule item. I donated one of my 1962 Proof Sets.</p><p>It is still in there to the best of my knowledge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years I had a good collection of Proof Sets &amp; other coins.</p><p>That is until 1985, when my soon to be Ex-wife took them &amp; sold </p><p>them to a pawn shop. I never found out which pawn shop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years I have continued to collect coins as it is a great hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>The gift I gave the church in 1962 has been rewarded to me in a beautiful</p><p>memory brought back to life by Secret Santa in 2016.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bless all the members here at CoinTalk for everything they do.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]567863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]567864[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
