collectors coin wise, to love the unloved and to remove the last few discretionary dollars from my shallow wallet (we still haven't found a house to buy)

I give you the following.

I LOVE the hole, which I presume is contemporary because of the squared off look on the striking side, love the surfaces... plus, it's a big arse chunk of silver so what could be wrong with it??

    It's now suitable for chaining. You'd be a big hit with that around your neck at the World Cup and Summer Olympics.

    Very cool! Now that has history behind it, unlike many MS65+ coins that haven't been touched!

    When you find a house, you can nail that coin to the doorpost, old ritual to keep the bad spirits out of your house.
    looking at the hole, it probably was attached to a doorpost one time.

    I really like the idea of decorating with it, so to speak. Though, were I you, it would go on the frame above my office door (I presume your new digs will offer you an office). image

    Absolutely....that is part of my plan.

    I need to find an old school square nail.....

    but the big question, do I get a classic silver dollar and do it? or do I take a modern "silver" dollar and do that? I guess I'd have to take a new mint offering image

    I would do it with the lowest cull value you can find, G-d forbit some a-hole decides to steal it. Meanwhile I really like the subtle orange and blue tones in your NEWP.
