coastie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 When my grandmother died and we were emptying out the house I found a cache of coins. In the cache there were US half d9ollars from the 1850's and other old coins that I don't remember. Most of those I've sold over the years but I kept this one because of what it is and what's been done to it. When you look at it you can see there isn't much relief left but due to the blackening of the background the design still stands out. I don't know it's story my grandmother was a bit tight lipped about her things and didn't talk much about the family. Anyway I've had this since 1969.
