<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 3254017, member: 19250&quot;]This sort of reminds me of two coins given to me by my Uncle William ,my mom&#039;s brother.</p><p>Both are just Lincoln cents. One is a 1943 zinc that was copper plated, the other a 1965 with Kennedy etched into the fields facing Lincoln. </p><p>As I posted in another area on the form my Roots thread... About my great great uncle .</p><p>Anyway my uncle Bill or as we called him uncle brother as all his sisters called him &quot;brother&quot; not William or Bill...was a collector.He gave me the 2 cents back in 1965 ,I was a YN ,and I&nbsp; have kept the 2 cents in their 2x2 ,s he had put them in.</p><p>Since they came from my favorite uncle I have had them what 53 years now?</p><p>Well maybe it&#039;s time I pass them on to my second cousin Melissa.</p><p>We burried her dad in late October,and she truly didn&#039;t know her grandfather as he died in 1967. Long before she had any memories of him.</p><p>That way should anything happen to me they will stay within the family. </p><p>Yeah not worth alot of money but to me they are priceless!</p><p>As I wouldn&#039;t be here today if not for him sharing his hobby with me as a child.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
