like to share. With me, acquiring information and knowledge is every bit as rewarding as acquiring coins." Me, too! Numismatic research lets us enjoy historical events that we did not live to see. I have been reading lots of colorful books about famous wars in American history and I also happened to buy a circulated coin like this unc. http://www.coinfacts.com/silver_doll...n_dollars/1898 s_morgan_silver_dollar.htm It is a somewhat uncommon 1898-S Morgan Dollar. Only 4 million were made. These coins were made by George Morgan when he worked at the Mint. I think my coin is an honest Very Fine, or maybe hopeful XF, but it has only a few bagmarks pretty much worn away by light circulation. This coin, part of a large emission of the same variety, was in all likelihood minted to build up the American navy in preparation for the anticipated Spanish War of 1898. This war determined the history of the United States and Spain. With these coins from San Francisco in their pockets, brave young American sailors fought a desperate battle against the much older ships and men from Spain who were holding the Manilla harbor hostage and threatening the entire Pacific. This was the supreme confrontation between Spain and America and it brought democracy to the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Puerto Rico and other Spanish dominated lands. Afterward, America became the nation we know today, joining the other democracies of the world who defeated the empires of Germany and Russia and built the League of Nations and then the United Nations on Four Freedoms. This ushered in a golden age of invention, art, and science including the automobile, the airplane, atom bomb and space shuttle because of many great Americans such as Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, Wernher von Braun, and Golda Meir, which led to the modern world we have today. I have found pictures of my coin online like I said, but I also have valuable references about this coin, such as Photograde and The Red Book.

"Ankaaz" wrote in message ... I wrote: "My husband says the Washington Redskins. I guess the typical answer would be the Packers. Is he right or is the riddle more confounding than that?" It -is- the Packers. Lombardi died before a Redskins game was ever played under his tutelage. Correctamundo? Nope! He coached the Redskins during the 1969 season to their first winning record in 14 years. He died the following September. |

Only reason I remember that is because that is my birthday. (the day, not the year). He is still beloved in Green Bay with a street and an elementary school named after him. |

As a kid in the early 1950's, I marveled at my neighbor who had an XK-120(?), a pale lavender color, with a fin-like protrusion on the trunk that may have housed lights. Never seen one like that since. Don't recal either if it was right or left drive. Was that an optional feature on a particular model? Bruce Bruce |
