I was given this by MIL, belonged to her father, Born 1900, when he was around 13, the fire destroyed his home. She does not know if it was a collection or just his money.
Indian range from 1870's to 1906 and Liberty's from 1883 to 1900, or so.
Most are fused together, bent or damaged. It was important to him, passed through the family.

Very sad that this happened. Neat historical replica and something to remember him by though.
Proud follower of Christ!
a valuable memory
As mentioned this is a sad and traumatic event, but at the same time a powerful historical reminder. It is very cool and I am certain it will be handed down through the family.
