<p>[QUOTE=&quot;capitalcoinman, post: 2106836, member: 74022&quot;]Hi fellow collectors. New to forum and wanted to post some past information related to an irish theme on this day. I have been a collector and dealer for about 30 years and here is a story from one of my past purchases. I had a phone call from a contractor who was doing renovations on a hundred year old home in Newfoundland and when he removed old window frames, underneath the wood found old Newfoundland silver coins. Now he only found coins on the windows facing the harbour and was very surprised and full of questions. I knew the reason from reading historical information regarding irish placing coins to ward off &quot;fairies&quot; and evil spirits. They believed that spirits would try to enter the window openings and the silver money would keep them away.He went on to sell me the coins and its one of the more interesting purchases I made. I figured it&nbsp; would be an appropriate story on this day. I know there are a lot of collectors on this forum who are passionate about Newfoundland coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
