Then when I got home I'd go out and buy another one and put that coin in my pocket ;) That last one, the one I posted pictures of, a member of this forum bought it from me. It had particular meaning for him, one because it was mine, and two because it had cost him a rather expensive dinner one night while we were at a coin show. We flipped a coin to see who would paid the bill - that was the coin I flipped - he lost :) A couple of years later he bought the coin.[/QUOTE]
