<p>[QUOTE="swick, post: 242647, member: 7587"]Ha. You know, if I were a millionaire, I'd do all sorts of interesting things that millionaires these days don't seem to do, like bury little caches of gold coins around the countryside to be discovered by archaeologists a thousand years from now. (None of this wasting my money on shallow things like food and cars.) But since I'm not, I'm glad to hear that it's nickels and not quarters that are likely to be most durable, since that means I will only have to spend 5 rather than 25 cents per marker. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a 1921 Morgan Dollar from a seller on E-Bay who claimed that it was from Clint Eastwood's ex-wife's back yard (got that? LOL).The story went that when Eastwood was just starting out in the acting business, he didn't know for sure if he was going to make it. So, Eastwood and his then wife, buried some Morgan's in their back yard, in case they ever needed some extra cash. She got re-married some years later, and told the tale to her new husband. Then they went out into the back yard and dug up the coins and sold them. I don't know if the story is true, but the 1921 Morgan Dollar only cost $10.00, and it's in pretty good shape. I was probably taken though? LOL Oh well! LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>swick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
