Had an extraordinary afternoon yesterday. An elderly gentleman who lives in one of the apartment buildings that I take care of had heard that I knew some things about coins. So he proceeded to pull these beauties out of his pocket. They were taped together with very old, yellowed scotch tape and had been given to him on his 10th birthday...he's gotta be in his mid-eighties now. Anyways I told him I'd be back the next day with my Red Book and a couple of coin flips. So today I gladly put them into flips for him so they could'nt be further damaged in any way. And showed him what they were probably worth based on their condition. I told him I figured it was around 1K for both coins...he was impressed. Love that gold....wish I could afford it. Enjoy the pics !
 
Be nice to him he may give them to you someday:cheers:

Nice story Dave. Extraordinary for sure, the scotch tape , ten years old when he recieved them. Gotta get your blood flowin in the right direction when you can C coins like that and not become the fox in the hen house....
 
Thanks. I did mention to him that I really liked the 2-1/2 Dollar coin. And that if he ever wanted to part with it I would give him a fair price. Does'nt matter though, it was just fun to hold that history in my hands !
