For my 1000th Post a real special find to me.

This morgan Dollar was found deep in the cussion of a very old couch that my late Grandfather and True Friend rested on and listened to old radio shows that were new shows when he heard them.
Also found an old skeletin key and a couple of number 2 pencils. To me this is a very special Coin.

  • congrats on 1000, looks like a nice coin lots of luster. It must be amazing to find a coin that was lost for 100 years.

    It still has some fuzz from the cussions on it. My sister found it and called me all excited saying i have a special gift to give you but only if you help me move a couch. When i got there i found out what she had found and she was Happy to give it to me. Needless to say before i did any couch moving i searched it again and again to make sure nothing was missed. So cool. Priceless.
