The Art of Giving

I gave my son a dollar bill from eighteen-hundred thirty two and a two-spot from that same year too The question mark upon his face implied I was from outer space What's this? he managed in a thin voice 'Cash,' I replied, left with no choice He shrugged his shoulders at the 'cash' ~ Promptly filed it in the trash

Hi Gershon a gun is no fun when you have one pointed at your head and if you dare to flinch you will be dead. It happened to us in broad-daylight in our driveway, what an awful day but we stayed calm and they stripped us of jewellery , shopping, bags one which had Elias's gun in it, money and grabbed our keys and escaped, throwing the keys into the bush. Happy festive season to you ad yours my friend Gershon. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Listen G.W., dig them out of the trash--don't bother cleaning them with a brush-- and I'll buy them and pay you crispy, brand new "CASH"!...ab

Probably he may not be knowing that it has much value in the eyes of a Numismatist... ! :)
