A 1935 Silver Dollar

It’s been a very long time since any posts went up here, but with a vacation in the works in about one week, I can see more posts going up. Work has been wonderful, and busy, but I have certainly not given up on posting here, or on writing about numismatics.

In terms of personal updates, I sold some of my coins, including the coin that was atop my meditation on the 1935 silver dollar, but bought this one and a number of others. It shows some wear, but I liked the colour so much that I fell in love with it at first sight–and it was only $20, about half the price of my original one. I continue to be amazed at how, for the price of about two McDonald’s deluxe burger meals, one can get coins that offer such pleasure with every viewing.
