Today , I picked up a 1901 Pan American Exposition silver medal , an 1884 NGC Uncirculated Mint State 62 silver Morgan dollar ,an Extra Fine 1908 O silver Barber quarter , an uncirculated 1955 silver Franklin Half , a set of gold plated 1999 statehood quarters and a 1859 Alaskan gold statehood dollar put out by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce . I got the Franklin for a customer , the Morgan dollar and Barber quarter I will take to town and sell the rest of it goes to the Antique Mall . I am tempted to keep that quarter but I might let it all go today . Time to start thinking about putting some FRN's back for a fall hunting trip .
Any coin or currency collectors here?

An Israeli nonprofit announced Wednesday that it would be releasing a celebratory coin in honor of the 70th anniversary of Israel’s independence, and it will feature the face of President Donald Trump as an expression of “gratitude” for his decision to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem.
The “Temple Coin” depicts King Cyrus, who allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem 2,500 years ago, alongside Trump, KOBI reported.
The seal of the United States government are also pictured, with biblical verses written in in Hebrew on the face of the coin. On the back is a dove, holding an olive branch in its beak, above a temple.
“The coin expresses our joy and gratitude that the American Embassy will be transferred to Jerusalem in honor of Israel’s Independence Day,” the Mikdash Educational Center said on its website. “It is the fulfillment of the Trump declaration recognizing the centrality of Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel.”

The Mikdash Educational Center has minted 1,000 biblical half-shekel coins that can be purchased with a minimum donation of $50. The coin can’t be used as currency. It has a diameter of two inches.
The standard coin, made from pewter and plated with about a third-of-an-ounce of silver, and will be sold for $50.
There is also a limited series of gold-plated coins which will sell for $70.

I wonder just how small the print will be for the content declaration on the advertising and packaging.
Effing dicks , for 50 bucks they could have gotten that stamped on a one ounce .999 silver round for probably 18 by some private mint and kept the other 32 . Instead they are claiming there will be 5 1/2 dollars worth of silver in it which will be so low most testers will not register it , just as likely none at all . I keep warning Danke you have to be careful when doing business with white people .
