<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 422241, member: 12159&quot;]A lot of thought has gone into this reply.</p><p>I ordered a &#039;lot&#039; of mixed wheats and a &#039;lot&#039; of US silver coins, not knowing what was to be included. It was a big gamble at the time, and I held my breath worried that I had been exceptionally foolish.</p><p>When I opened the first US silver pouch and removed the Morgan Dollar and put it in my hand I knew I was holding a real genuine American coin. The design, the luster, and the heft of this silver coin gave me a sense of days gone by before I was born. </p><p>I was quickly reminded of my great great grandfather who owned a couple of mines in the Sierra foothills of California. And many acres of land in five California counties. I have seen many of his transactions in land records that he paid &quot;$5,000.00 in gold coins&quot; for a piece of property. He was alive from 1935 until 1906 and I believe I can sense what he felt like when he handled a Morgan Dollar, or any other such real American coin. </p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
