[QUOTE="DionHurst, post: 963279, member: 26482"]This is one of my favs and the story behind it is: This coin was given to me by an uncle that had it and was afraid that he would sell when he was short of cash for a lot less than it was worth. Since he didn't want to do that and knew as a kid I had collected coins he gave it to me. The reason he gave it to me is he knew I would be appreciative of receiving it and would value it greatly. He gave it to me in the 80's and it is my most prized coin. There are two reasons: 1. My uncle gave it to me for free when he could use the money that it would bring. 2. He trusted that I would value the coin and I have. My uncle has passed and I will never forget his act of kindness he had done for me. During the early 80's jobs were few and far between in Houston, and my uncle gave his most valuable item he had at that time without consideration for the money he could use to pay a bill or two. The coin has a scratch behind liberty's head but it is perfect as far as I'm concerned.[/QUOTE]
