[QUOTE="AdamL, post: 8128160, member: 6029"]I ordered a 1938 Walking Liberty half dollar, MS65 from a seller called League City Gold on ebay and the order arrived yesterday, just in time for Christmas. I've gotten bonus coins before, but it's usually just a cent or something modern that is appreciated, but not worth much. This time however, I was surprised by a bag saying "Bonus Coin. Merry Christmas" which contained an 1881-S Morgan silver dollar! Other than a couple of mint products my mother has asked me first if I'd like before buying, this is the first time I've been gifted a coin since before my late father's dementia started getting bad about 10+ years ago. Certainly the first time I've been surprised about a coin in over a decade. And I truly felt like a kid on Christmas. At first I was just excited about the best "bonus coin" I've ever gotten. But I got kind of emotional as memories came rushing back about my dad including the coins he used to give me. Attached is a picture of one of the first coin my dad gave me, a 1899-O Morgan which really helped spark my interest in the hobby, next to the coin that I received yesterday. I know it's a common date and circulated. But still generous. And the moment was priceless.[ATTACH=full]1415663[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1415664[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
