    An old mans gift

    By jcriller,

    Something really weird happened
    Something really weird happened, but it was also very nice.I live in a small village and used to help an old couple whenever they had some difficult tasks to do around the house.The husband was quite a traveler in days gone by.
    Via all our conversations he found out that i have quite an interest in coins and one day arrived at my front door with an old(and i mean very old) shoe box.He said that he received the collection from his mother and threw all the extra coins he had from his trips in the box, and his giving this to me for all the help over the years.
    It was a gift he insisted, and he had nobody to leave it for.
    below is a pic of one of the coins i received. I will now have some graded in memory of Mr D
    Lesson learned: In life you receive more by giving

    1959 S.A. Union NO "KG"

    By jcriller,

    Finally acquired the the elusive one
    Below is the pic of my latest acquired 1959 NO "KG" S.A. Union 3p. With a population of only 13 this coin is quite difficult to get hold of. With a real nice grade of MS63 i am very happy to fill my Union 3p slot with this one, and the point acquired is not bad either
