@Jamee Növötney - interesting "guitar pick" coins. Had never seen those before. I love that piece with the owl! Cindy Calhoun of Cindy's Cents...
I agree, that one has plenty of charm and a really great portrait. I like the brassy undertones.

AT or not, that Peace dollar is beautiful and has exactly the kind of pastel toning I like on silver coins (though I do like white lusterbomb...
Just a friendly reminder to not let this thread slide too much into politics, please, so we don't have to take it down.
I voted for "10" in the poll twice, so I guess that means IOU twenty bucks for it now. Ha! I crack me up. ;)
