I TOUCHED THE CIVIL WAR

Today while going through a bag of coins I found a FLYING EAGLE coin from 1858.Although heavily worn it struck me it not only lived through the Civil War but every event since that time.
Imagine the stories behind its years and it is now living in my home for a few years before it will be off for new adventures.
Just imagine what an ancient coin has been through.

THE END OF THE PRESIDENTIAL DOLLARS

The presidential dollar coin program is coming to an end for circulating coins. However,they will still be minted for collectors and this might be a blessing in disguise for the entire series because they will now be minted just for the people who want them.
They will probably be harder to find but when the entire series is completed will still make a very presentable book.
I urge the readers of this blog to continue forward and you will have an awesome collection when the series is completed.
