1898 - American Silver Dollar

Today I was going through a little cupboard in my hall.
I came across some old coins my Mother had.
This was one of them. I have always loved to look at it & the feel.
Just think of the thousands of people whose hands this coin has passed through in its 113 years. I wonder how far it has travelled!
I bet it could tell a story or two !! :)
I have no idea if it is worth anything - really never thought about that.
My Father would have got this during WWII.
Just thought you would like to see this lovely coin.
Well with the price of Silver, not a bad investment. Silver dollars like that will bring anywhere from $25 on up depending on the mint marks and the condition.

What a great find, Lois. It pays to clean once in a while. I just might try that. lol

You have a nice bit of history captured here.

This reminds me that I have a couple also. My grandfather used to hand us one occasionally when we would go over for a visit.
