Message:: [QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 367294, member: 9474"]Over this past Easter weekend, my Dad gave me the rest of his small coin collection.  One of the pieces included this 1890 O Morgan.  It was very well worn, but nicely toned over the years.  It had sat in his top drawer for over 40 years.  My 10 yr old neice was attached at my hip wanting to see all the coins that my Dad had given me and the ones that I bought that weekend.  In an attempt to interest her in coin collecting I gave her the Morgan so she can hold onto it and think of me.  I explained to her all about Morgans and coin collecting in general.  I am quite sure that I explained to her rule number 1 - never clean a coin.   Well this is what I received in the mail today - along with some wildlife cards as my b-day present.  She said she wanted me to have the coin to think of her, but I needed to send it back so we can always think of each other (I live in WV and they live in Cape Cod) Well, so much for rule number 1! I am also pretty sure the Morgan picked up some additional rim dings. :goof: :mouth: But it is so shinny! Guess I'll send it back. LOL :mouth:[/QUOTE]
