can i just go back and remove the entire comment?
well, it happens to be important to me but you know.... in the end, it's just a fart joke.
I did some Google searches on this. How cool is that?!!! I have a small coin collection, but I don't have anything close to being that old. That's super cool.
No way! Is there a story behind it?
No, just a picture of Caesar.
This makes me worried for you. This must be a very valuable coin just for what it is. And then, it means something to you. please be careful with it. Can't you leave it at home?
I'm curious to the importance. At first I thought possibly the Salem Witch Trials, but they were in the 1690's. Vlad the Impaler was was the 1400's.
I'd like to hear the story behind the coin, it's very interesting. (and especially because it has special meaning for you)
I think I might start carrying my roo sack around with me. I am oddly fond of my roo sack.
See that little kid in the throne? That's the titular character of Katsuhiro Otomo's franchise Akira. I carry this fellow around, sans seat, sometimes. He's basically my good luck token.
Please don't. It's priceless.
We respect its importance to you. Nobody's making light of that. We're just... well, you know how we are. But you know we lurve ya more than our luggage, to quote Steel Magnolias.
I am sorry, I did not mean to make a joke about it. I truly read it like that. I guess if i knew what your were referring to I would know not to do that.
Can you explain it? I Cry Your Pardon, Vamp.
Thanks guys, i appreciate the fact that you want to know about the coin.
my family tree goes back to 1633 here in the United States, i was given the documentation and genealogy book by my aunt Milly when i graduated high school. The coin was among my great grandmother's things when she passed and since i'm the only grand daughter who favored her likeness (both redheads with green eyes), i was allowed to choose a few things before they were distributed. The coin, circa 1630, is worn and flat and has a bit of green on it (i assume it's copper?) but i keep it with me as a reminder of where and who i came from.
I have no idea where she got it from but i like to imagine that maybe it made it's passage with one of those first ancestors that landed here way back when this country was just beginning.

That has got to have some vibes in your hand, Lily.
Wonderful.
Gives me shivers, it does.

I love coins with special meaning, they're, well, special, 'specialy when it's about family...those are the ones you look at and feel, even though you've done it maybe a thousand times, so you know every nook, cranny, and worn spot, and when you hold and look at it, that's when you get a little lost imagining and wondering, hmmmm....
Yeah, me too
