Re: [bolger] Re: silver coins
Hmmmm intersting. Seeing how I was rased around the
fishing boats. I was told you could change the boat
name if she could back down hard enough to wash the
name off the stern with the wake.

---Here is an even more fun tradition: To name or document your
boat/ship. A virgin must take a pee over the bow. The name of the
virgin then goes to the boat.
Friends of mine had a documented retired CDN fishing boat on Puget
Sound. They wanted to name the boat CLEO. Cleo is their grand
daughter. She is 7.
So,, with a towle covering her underway, she took a good pee!
Thus, the virgin requirment was met with out doubt!

I plan to put a Canadian dime, the one with the Bluenose on it, under
each mast step on the Single Handed (His and Her) Schooner I'm
building. Total cost: 20 cents. They haven't been silver since 1968 I
believe, but it should do the job.
I think it goes schooner side up/queen's head down.

AFAIK, there are no silver coins in common circulation
in any Western country. Probably none anyplace.
There are silver coins minted, some of which are
"officially" in circulation, but not really. Some are
sold in mint sets as collectibles, others are sold for
metal content (generally WAY over face value) as
bullion. Check your national mint's website. Gold
and platinum too.
For real-life, especially appropriate,
find-'em-in-pocket-change choices, I did an article in
Duckworks several years ago, probably needs updating -
no silver, I'm sad to say, but you might have some on
you right now:

Roger, in those pre-1965 days I was trying to fill up a bunch of
Whitman coin folders with dimes, nickels and pennies. quarters were
too rich for me. Dimes were silver then. Anyway name the year for
Mercury or Roosevelt dimes and one will be on its way. Give me a range
because I never did fill the damn things up. I do have a few Kennedy
half dollars and might even find a silver dollar laying around.
Perhaps a Silver certificate would do? I have a few of those. No
charge for dimes.

Roger,
If you're in the US, the cheapest (Bolger would approve) real silver coin is a pre-1965 half-dollar. These were 90% silver and can be found lots of places for less then $4.
Good Luck,
James

I can see the day when I will be stepping the tabernacle, and I will need a
silver coin to put in the step. Do such things exist anymore? Do I need a
rare coin dealer's help?
