i think you'd make more money getting it in a slab as a 70. it's a nice coin. but i would rather have a morgan actually minted in NO.
@edwardjulio Not to you. You haven't offended me. You seem ok. I can take a little ribbing and criticism. But attack after attack? That's just plain wrong.
@rokky I don't know if that would help. I can slow down and start at the beginning. It starts long ago with a set of colonies along the Gulf Coast.
" Imagine, for a moment, an alternate ending to the American Revolution. The thirteen rebel colonies sign a peace of exhaustion with Great Britain in 1783. Instead of a trans-Appalachian nation, with boundaries on the Mississippi, the Americans are restricted to a few river valleys in Tennessee and Kentucky. The Mississippi valley is British, as well as Canada and all the territory north of the Ohio, peopled with hostile Indians whom Britain controls. South and west of Georgia the continent is also British; everything from Florida through what is now Alabama and Mississippi to New Orleans and Louisiana is under the Union Jack—with more thousands of hostile Indians bound to Britain by flattery, gifts, and habit. It is hard to believe that the United States would have long survived England’s readiness to manipulate Indians, subvert politicians, and fan sectional jealousies to destabilize the fragile confederation.
The war might have ended this way—except for Don Bernardo de Gálvez. Few Americans have heard of this Spanish nobleman who became governor of the province of Louisiana on January 1,1777. " https://www.americanheritage.com/bernardo-de-galvez
@Rokky A multiracial army led by a Spainard and an Irish American saved George Washington and the American Revolution. They also funneled the money for the effort. Coins. Spanish Coins. Reales and Escudos.
England had made coining illegal for the colonists. The colonists had no choice. The coins had to come from Spain.These coins were made from metal taken from the indigenous peoples, Latins, and People of Color under conditions that likely exploited them.
By returning to the practice of using interest in coin money of the past, I can better contextualize what occurred and the significance of those events. Coin records also provide great evidence as to what happened. That is all.
The rest is just trying to defend my position. Alone. Against an angry mob.
This is what social justice work is like. And it's not FUN at all but super important.
So I can legally take a US coin. Get a Gris Gris mojo put on it. And sell it at a premium as long as I disclose exactly what happened and who did it. What certificates they hold. A voodoo priestess.
And these coins. Would you want a genuine New Orleans Voodoo Dollar?
This may be the best site I've ever been to.
@rokky As a person of color, I asked myself why wasn't I taught this as a schoolchild in Alabama. In Korea for that matter. Then I ask myself shouldn't I try and change things so it is taught.
Read the comments here and you get an idea of why it's not taught.
And an idea of how I might change that.
I'm classically educated in the Liberal Arts. I've read Cervantes. Camu on Sisyphus.

Do I believe slavery was wrong....from the deepest part of my soul I do.
Did Americans start slavery? Absolutely not. It has been around since man became sentient and was practiced and is practiced to this day on all races. If I'm not mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong, most African slaves were purchased from other Africans way back when.
Your percentage of possibly being descended from an African slave is extremely low from what you posted....of course if you are 1/2 N. Korean your parent who was from there was most likely a slave by most Western Standards.
Personally, I don't agree with reparations monetarily. Way too much time has passed for that and a poor attempt was made after the end of the Civil War. The problem now is the majority of both sides of this debate have nothing to do what happened well over 100 years ago. On top of that, there have been reparations in other forms....Affirmative Action stands out to me and has lost it's usefulness.
Yes, there are pockets of bad actors in this country, but they have been reduced tremendously since I became aware of this raciest thing when I was young. The problem in my mind is the pendulum has swung too far and it is becoming unfair to many people.
As a closing point, I would wager as a percentage there is more African racism towards whites than there is white racism against Africans these days.
It's time for everyone to put their differences behind and just get along.
@amwldcoin Actually I'm about to find the slave in my lineage. My cousins DNA and a database. But you are correct. It doesn't matter. I also found records where my ancestors ran the slave trade here for a while. From the beginning I've told everyone over and over I'm not bragging or trying to elicit sympathy for myself for past wrongs. I'm confessing and seeking catharsis.
This is about me in the sense I have to clean my own generational sins. History is almost always like that. Thomas Jefferson. The best and worst of humanity in the same mind and body.
So it's obvious you aren't a person of color.
Might want to hold off judging People of Color then about their race.

@amwldcoin Yes. And I admit I fall short. I've driven past a Home Depot. Saw some people huddled. I said look at those illegal aliens. Out loud. In front of multiple people. Maybe 3 years ago. I'm Hispanic and that's just messed up.
My cause is very just. Me not so much. 😞
This is me as a baby. All of us. Momma was North Korean. Walked out in 1950. Both my brothers are doctors. Mike the middle brother is a Colonel in the US Army. I'll get a challenge coin from him and post it here. My dad was 8th Army. Pacific Victors. Agent Orange got him. Took 20 years. Ate his lungs up.
Edit. Asked brother for a US Army challenge coins. He already responded. I will post. Might take a day. He's not home.
I'm too dumb to lie this well.

I don't know. That all sounds like a great story and something to be proud of. Not sure why you choose to be unhappy about everything.
@JBK I am the story and I do love it. But I have one paragraph to make my point and have to mention coins 3 times. Which is actually cool because I'm sort of manic too and now I'm all coin fixated. IDK. Like the people here. I already admitted I'm thinking about coins more than girls. The counter trolls are doing me a huge favor.
Problem is I need 2 or 3 champions. Folks not scared to leap into what the Rasta is preaching. To say no. We're gonna look into the coin records. This is what we found. Like a forensic audit coin dream team.
That's what I need. That's why I'm here. I need help. The best. On coins. Spanish American Revolutionary War period.
It can't change. I don't have a better idea. No one does that I see.

Hey buddy, your story and odd quest are actually pretty interesting stuff... but you should listen to those who are trying to help you understand this forums ways.
Pretty interesting stuff for sure, but not really the stuff of this particular forum perhaps?
@jayPem. Got it but don't you think that's what happened to us? We got bullied from the history record?
Well the coin records aren't so easily dismissed. That's what I've found. I'm not that smart or special. Just found the right idea at the right time. And the answer is coins.
I'm going to pay my lawyer in 1 oz silver rounds. That's legal isn't it. I'll make a video. Post it here. Make sure I show the coins.
That's what y'all taught me in a week.
Y'all are only in if the coins are the stars.
Deal.
Happy Juneteenth , my brothers and sisters. I love all these made-up English ( american) words. Actually, it was yesterday. So, i’m celebrating what would be my parents’ (rip) 80th wedding anniversary this day. Diversity rocks & harmony rolls…. like the tide

Please explain all of this to me like I’m a 4 year old because I still don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. From your initial post up til now.

@GulfRasta But what does all this have to do with voodoo zombie coins of New Orleans?
@CoinHoarder
Someone asked a question and I tried to answer. And then you show pictures expressing displeasure. Why?

@Catbert So be it. Again. Not mad at anyone. Just trying to add this all up and see what we get.
@stevenb Or take that slab Morgan and voodoo it?
Dude. You're awesome. I'm gonna do it and sell them here. But only if Nicolas Cage is involved.
@GulfRasta So please tell me what you’re trying to achieve? What is the overall point you’re trying to make?
