<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fred Garvin, post: 2104381, member: 73973&quot;]Greetings coin collectors and experts.....I am neither!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am hoping that you could advise me as to some gift ideas.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my very best friends has a birthday coming up in late April. He is a major fan and enthusiast of the Old West. He has an uncanny knowledge of stories and events. Whenever we go out riding (motorcycles) it seems he knows something that happened &quot;here&quot; back in the old west....this hotel, this saloon, so and so shot someone, a fight happened here, big train crash here....its a lot of fun riding with him because he leads us to so many neat places.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I thought, for his birthday, a real piece of the Old West....something he can carry in his pocket and be an actual connection to the past, to history. A coin maybe?</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what coin(s) would have commonly been found in a cowboy&#039;s coin purse? Like, open any wallet today and you&#039;re likely to find $1, $5, $10, $20 bills.....what did they commonly have/use say, 1870-1885? Morgan Dollar, large penny, nickels, ?? I&#039;m looking to spend $50-$100.... Enough to get something cool but not so much he&#039;d feel bad if he lost it. Also, something he&#039;d carry around...not something uncirculated or in such nice condition it wouldn&#039;t be practical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any and all help/ suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance for your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
