Randy is correct; it is Tyger 75's JYD number. He was indeed a Canadian soldier who loved the Scrap Yard. I sold him a YardKeeper LE for cost and threw in a sheath for it; he was VERY happy and appreciative. He sent me some knife lanyards as a "thank you". We exchanged Christmas cards and PM's.

I was saddened to receive a letter from his sister telling me about Patrick dying in a house explosion (gas leak). It destroyed his home and neighbors' as well. I posted it here in the Yard, and Dan Busse contacted me about making a special tribute knife to send to his family. Because I was the original contact person, Dan sent the knife to me to send on to his sister and family. I also included all but one of the lanyards Pat had sent to me, feeling that they would have special meaning to the family. I was honored to do so, and I still have the letter of gratitude from Pat's sister. I forwarded a copy of it to Dan Busse.

So yes, you DO have a special JYD numbered coin! wink
