Okay, all you experienced ones (I tried for a better word, but couldn't come up with one) I have an old silver coin of my parents. It's about silver dollar size, on the front it has a GSD with VEREIN FURDEUTSCHE SCHAFERHUNDE over it and SV under it. On the back it says DEM VERDIENSTE with a laurel wreath around it. Does anyone have any idea of where it came from? Or what it was for? Thanks, Holly ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
