A long time ago [like in October 2009] BogeyBoy posted that he had an old silver dollar [post #38 in this particular thread].
I thought that I should add that I also have an old silver dollar which I've carried in my pocket since late 1957. One side [tails] is virtually blank. The other side [heads] does still have an image of a head, but that's about all!
I think the coin dates from 1918 or thereabouts. I'm pretty certain that it couldn't be used as legal tender anymore, but it is extra special to me! I got it in change at The Three Fountains restaurant in St. Louis between Christmas and New Year's Eve of 1957. That would be the same week that my parents-in-law-to-be threw a big engagement party for me and my bride-to-be! We were married in September 1958 and had a wonderful life together until her passing in May 2000.
Lots of memories here!
