A nice surprise in the mailbox today.

[r redden]

I went to the mailbox today and found this box today.

Inside I found gifts from my friend GT (5K Qs).

A beautiful Colt Stag Canoe.

A Petoskey Stone.

A 1991 and a 2002 quarter.

GT explained in the letter he sent with the gifts that the Petoskey Rock was a standard Michigan souvenir.
He also said that the palindromic dates on the coins only occur every 110 years. A person born in 1881 and died before 1991 would never have lived during one however we were fortunate to live through two of them and therefore he proclaimed them both lucky coins.
I believe this, how else could I explain having such a good friend as GT. Thank you GT for your thoughtful consideration.
