Have you ever seen someone...
Have you ever seen someone that looks like a portrait thats on a coin? Theres a young woman that works at a local coffee shop. I see her almost daily. She looks just like the obv of a PEACE dollar. Every time i see her thats all i can think about. I haven't mentioned it to her because she might think I'm a creep or something.

Saw a guy last night on TV that has a nose just like a guy on an old 20th century German coin.

When I was in college, there was a girl in one of my classes that looked exactly like the woman on the Indian $10 gold coin but without the usual bag marks.

gumby1234, maybe you could just show her a Peace Dollar and say how much that she looks like it, or maybe like Wow you really look like this coin I have.

Suggestion.... Take a Peace Dollar to the coffee shop and show it to the waitress...... And tell her your thoughts!... She will be flattered! You will be on first base Buddy!...Guaranteed!
And,....I don't think Peace Dollars is the only thing you're thinking about when you see her.....🤔

Just don't offer to spend her too early.
And don't give her a tiara and ask her to hold her head out the car window.
Be cool.

Before I retired there was a young woman at work that looked like the Young Head Queen Victoria portrait. Wore her hair the same way.

There is a newspaper comic strip called "Zippy the Pinhead" and although I never really read it, I was familiar with the character. I was looking at the portrait on a 1922 German hyperinflation banknote and I thought it sort of looked like Zippy. I sent the banknote to the artist Bill Griffith and he completed the picture.

Other than the guy who goes to coin shows dressed and bearded like Abraham Lincoln, no.... I never even thought of such a comparison. I will have to start observing from that perspective. Cheers, RickO

Light side currency. But still pretty funny

For a Peace Dollar lookalike that is a high compliment, but you wouldn't wan to do that for every coin

Not at all, last time I noticed we are still allowed to think on our own. Now if he starts following her around and looking in her windows at night then THAT"S a "Creep" (and maybe a felon

Yes show it to her / tell her / take your turn at bat.

Go For It!!!!So, I did it! I took my Susan B Anthony dollar to the girl working at my local coffee shop! I ordered my coffee and while she was making it, I explained that she looked very famous... Like a coin and I brought it to show her. She smiled immediately.
I dug in my pocket and laid the SBA on the counter. She threw the hot coffee in my face, and I had to be taken away by ambulance.
Thanks a lot for the tip...sheesh!
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

Horse and wagon is more like it. Cars weren't invented yet.

The face isn’t too bad, but that hand? Yikes. Looks like something my nephew drew.
