    Not my coin, as I don’t have a photo of mine, but my label/grade is identical.

    I found a California state quarter (with Half Dome and John Muir) on the ground at El Cap Meadow once -
    does that count? :)

    I've stayed at the Ahwanhee and fly fished the Merced, does that count? A great place to find your third eye. Peace Roy

    No coin, but I climbed there once in 1995. I met my old climbing partner there in June and did a route called The Nutcracker (III, 5.8)... mega classic!

    That is an outstanding medal, TomB. What do they sell for?

    I have no idea! I haven't been able to track any down for sale and the one that I own was struck before the obverse lettering was applied.

    I too have had the pleasure of a visit.
    Far out !
    If my memory is correct...lol.
    At the base of one of the falls, standing in awe, here is a copperhead snake coming our way.
    Does that count as a coin ?
