<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 693193, member: 9474&quot;]When I was just a wee little bugger, I remember two distinct coin related stories that my grandma told me.&nbsp; The first one was when my grandmother went back over to Italy to visit here family, she gave both my dad and my uncle 10 Morgan dollars each. They were to spend them wisely while she was gone.&nbsp; Well my uncle blew through all of his buy candy and food, but my dad saved his.&nbsp; In fact, some of those Morgans are now in my collection.&nbsp; The other story has to do with turning in their gold coins.&nbsp; Although my family wasn&#039;t into collecting, they knew the value that coins had.&nbsp; My grandmother did not want to turn them in, but eventually did so at the urging of my grandfather.&nbsp; I remember as a kid her face lighting up when she spoke of her eagles and double eagles that she had.&nbsp; As I got older, I always used to tell her that I wished she held on to them.&nbsp; But back in those days, they needed the money and couldn&#039;t afford to stash away several hundred dollars in gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
