<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Army333, post: 771276, member: 22132&quot;]Background for my Question:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Come 17 March 2010, I will receive my commission in the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant. I&#039;ve been in the Army for a while and I know that the military has a tradition where a newly appointed officer gives a U.S. Silver Dollar to an NCO of choice in exchange for his or her first salute; this is known as the Silver Dollar Salute (the military tries to keep the names of traditions simple...lol).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>More info on the Silver Dollar Salute:</p><p><a href="http://www.jcs-group.com/military/rank/salute.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jcs-group.com/military/rank/salute.html" rel="nofollow"><font size="1">http://www.jcs-group.com/military/rank/salute.html</font></a> </p><p>(The First Salute)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My Question:</p><p><span style="color: red">What would be the best Silver Dollar to give in exchange for my first salute?</span> I believe 85-90 percent of new officers give older coins rather then newly minted ones. I was thinking of something from the 1800s like a Morgan Dollar; (the coin is usually in the best condition it can be in) but I am open for any suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
