I'd love to see some of your ultra old silver dollars—the workhorse of the economy. Many Morgans were minted yet didn't see commerce, whereas the older silver dollars did.
Here is one of my favorites (I traded two double eagles for this one about ten years ago):

I only have one, a 1799 in F12. The photos are originally from DLRC as it’s in the SDB and I haven’t gotten it out to take pics of my own.

Wonderful coins! Not exactly what you are looking for, but my avatar is also a silver dollar... and falls under the "and older" part of this thread.

And some silver dollar coins that are also more than 300 years old...
