People Share Their Lucky Moments on Social Media, Both Humorous and Heartfelt

Here’s a familial keepsake that should never be sold elsewhere. “My great-grandfather was shot during WWI. Luckily, the coins in his breast pocket absorbed the bullet and saved his life.” In the image below, someone is holding the coins in question. You can see where the bullet pierced them and left warped edges in its wake.

That’s history right there! History that’s over a century old! Talk about mind-blowing. This person’s great-grandfather was the epitome of luck back then. Maybe when you look up the definition of “luck” in the dictionary you’ll find his picture accompanying it. We hope this person carries around their grandfather’s coins for the rest of their life.
