Good evening, Okay, here's my second post from the 'newbie'. As promised here are the photos of my family's tradition-The Silver Dollar Tree. When a couple in my family reaches their 25th wedding anniversary they are made a silver dollar tree. In 1982 my Aunt Mickey and Uncle Solly made my parents their tree. I was only 11 years old but I remember how thrilled they were. The baby pine tree comprised of twenty-five 1971-1976 Eisenhower silver dollars. February is my sister & brother-in-law's anniversary. I took the same silver dollars and created their tree. (It's winter in New England so I had to use a tiny fake tree. I will get them a real tree in the Spring for them to plant in the yard). Down the road when my two nieces grow up and reach their silver anniversary the same silver dollars will be passed down again. Enjoy, Diane
That's cool @Diane Harriet , but the next time you post a photo, be sure to use the "Full Image" button instead of the "Thumbnail". Chris
Love it!! Do y'all only use the Eisenhower dollar? I would totally put a Morgan or peace dollar on there
Good idea. Because my parents' tree didn't have them I did not use them. Yesterday, while I was going through Dad's collection I located over 40 silver dollars(Morgan and Peace). My plan is to give them to my nieces on special occasions.
Might wanna let us know of the dates and mint marks before you do that. Some could be worth a fortune lol
