We often talk about the history of a particular coin...

I've read here often that people wonder the life of a coin.
<< <i>Where has that 1912 $5 been? Who had that 1795 dollar in their pocket? >>
Well, here's a fairly common so-called dollar (HK-25) that is rarely seen in use. This is a ribbon from the 1876 Centennial Celebration. HK-25 also came as silver, bronze, and in white metal. This particular one has incredible mirrored surfaces. Except for the spot at about 2 o'clock, this is a very choice example of this coin. Obviously a newly polished die, some of the wording has all but disappeared due to the polishing.
