That paper in the OP would cost you a trime, back in the day. I don't believe that I have heard of Clark Gruber until I saw them on the @dcarr website. I may have to do some diggin' on the subject.

Years ago, when I lived in Arizona, I purchased a silver dollar belt buckle... It was a Morgan.... I believe I still have it somewhere.... maybe.... have had a couple of major life experiences since then... Cheers, RickO
I once obtained an 1896-o micro-o Morgan Dollar that was in a big old belt buckle.
I can imagine some old "cowboy" walking around, proud of his big silver dollar belt buckle, not knowing the whole time that it was a vintage counterfeit.

Obviously, Mr. Wilson from Dennis the Menace was not consulted on the proper way to hold a coin in this episode Death Valley Days...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
The 'Old Ranger' has a silver dollar belt buckle....Cheers, RickO
In the newer 2013 version of the movie it's an Ike dollar.
And now for the $64,000 Question:
What is the date and mint of the Old Ranger's belt buckle silver dollar?
