So i went out sat with a buddy of mine and hit the lake where ive been finding all my silver rings. We got skunked, dug for four hours no keepers but around 6 bucks in clad. Then i went to my grandmothers house for her Christmas over the weekend bc they said it prob will be her last. So when i was a kid my grandfather used to sit down in the living room watching football and flipping a coin in his fingers. My dad has been after this coin since he was a kid. So i show her some of my finds then she says i have something for you and hands me these.

nice christmas presents from grandma for sure!! She maybe my grandma also,,i may have to stop over..:cool:
 
You are blessed with a gift that's worth more than anything you can dig out of the ground. Share the joy with your Dad, and save the coins for your son. Write the story so he knows where they come from. So few of us have something tangible that we can offer the next generation to keep the past in their thoughts.

Your experience is a story of Christmas sharing and love.
Merry Christmas
God Bless.
 
When my brother and sisters were born, my grand father gave us each a peace dollar. At some point, I think when I was 10 or 12, my parents let me have the coin. That was over 40 years ago and it's one of the few things I still have from my youth. And it will get passed on to one of my kids or grand kids.

Awesome!
 
When my Grandfather passed away I was in Rota Spain getting ready to get underway for a two month deployment. Once I got back to the states my wife and I went to visit my grandmother. She asked me if there was anything of MY Grandfathers that I wanted. I told her that there was a lot of things that I wanted but I had no place to keep them I then told her that I would love to have my Grandfathers Shotgun. She then told me "I will not give it to you but I will sell it to you." My heart sank. She then asked me if I had ten dollars. She said I have to sell it to you in order to keep peace in the family I had the ten dollars and I have had the shotgun for many years. It is still one of my most prized possessions

It is great that you received one of your Grandfathers Prized items.

Tried to pass it on to my pops this weekend. Then he told me to hold onto them and handed me these.
