    Whoa, I thought you were GDJMSP for a second.....

    If they're american, they sound like a seated liberty half dollar or english penny if they're not..just a guess

    Or perhaps a Walking Liberty half dollar.

    Not with an eagle on the reverse!

    The first thing on my mind was what was Doug doing digging in the backyard? :eek: I haven't heard from Spock in a while so it made me worry Doug had dug a hole and planted Spock. :mouth:

    As to the OP, we do need pics to properly address the questions asked. ;)

    Welcome to the forum.

    Other than rinsing them with water, please do not rub them or clean them with anything. You can easily ruin the coins If you scrub them with a tooth brush or use chemicals. Please take an up-close photograph & post it here.

    Very best regards,

    Toad, I thought the hole was going to be for your remains after Doug got done peeling you off from between his toes! :eek:

    And, GDJMPS, I'm curious, why did you choose a name so close to one of the CT administrator's, including using all caps? Are you a big Doug-Fan or a Doug-in-Training?

    If he's in training (AKA: Doug, Jr.) then I need to pee on his foot to break him in right. :D

    At least he is not using the same AVATAR. :)

    No one mentioned the typical Morgan Dollar, Peace Dollar, SBA Dollar and the one that closest to his description the Sac Dollar that has a gold color to it. I believe they all have ladies on the obverse and eagles on the reverse.

    Yes. This is strange. I don't think its a coincidence that he chose a name so similar to Doug's.
