    I guess that I'll go first. Attached are images of an 1881-O Morgan graded MS61 by PCGS. After my grandfather passed away, I was helping my parents clean out his house. In his bedroom closet, I found a velvet box which contained his Purple Heart, Silver Star, and ID card from his service in the Second World War. This coin was placed between the two medals and on top of the military ID. Sadly, I have no idea what story goes along with the coin, but I am certain that it must have been very important to him because it was in that box. I had the coin slabbed to protect it for future generations, and it still resides with his medals in that velvet box.

    Take good care of it and his medals, to many of them are lost and with them a bit of history.
