<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 26554098, member: 92655&quot;]My first gold coin adorns my mommas neck now. I was a very poor kid. Momma schooled all day and worked all night. My coin collection was built on school lunch money and was worn slick V-nickels and the like...... There was a tiny coin shop between my school and my home that I was in almost every day after school. The shop owner had taken a liking to me and would let me do chores for coins from time to time. I had always admired the half eagle in his case and he made me a deal. I could work off the cost of that half eagle if I wanted to. I jumped at the chance... I washed windows. swept floors, and cut his grass for what seemed to be an eternity... And the day he said I paid my debt, he handed me that half eagle and I ran home. Momma and me sat at the kitchen table and admired the heck out of it...... That was near a half century ago. Several years back I had that half eagle made into a necklace for mom. She called me after she received it and asked me if it would hurt the coin if she slept with it on!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1692171[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
