Thank you Nan Kate and I feel I should elaborate. My father died when I was 11 and to be truthful I can hardly remember him. After he died my mother gave his clothes to family (this was 1949) and an uncle found a silver threepenny bit in a pocket. This was given to me and I kept it all that time as the only thing I remembered him by.When I started keeping it in my purse I can't remember but it was always with me. When it was stolen it was a loss hard to explain.
