The Best Coin of the Golden Era 1 1

[Alex in PA.]

I can't participate in this.  What is meant by "Best"?  Best circulating, best looking, eh?  And what in Hades is 'Golden Era'?  Does that mean the time of the Zoot Suits?

The best circulated coin, in my opinion, was the Seated Liberty Dollar.  This is my final word on the matter.  Alex has spoken.

And worst. 

There's a huge list of that.

I thought the subject referred to the "golden age" or "Renaissance of American Coinage" period...not later ccoins or commemoratives. Maybe I misunderstood.

Of those on the list I went with feel... The Peace Dollar had the best Feel to it..

Topographically speaking, with subdued relief, I can see that. But codgers like me who've had "hold by the edges" pounded into our heads over the years, your reference to "feel" makes me cringe. I only recently heard (hope VKurtB doesn't see this) that the TPGS conduct their examinations with bare hands and not paper gloves as I had assumed.

I've known the TPGS firms use bare hands for at least 25 years.

Indubitably, my friend. But you did not know that I did not know that.

Pocket Pieces have calmed millions of Nerves and I gifted a Peace dollar to my father to use to help with some neuropathy he acquired in his hands after too long on the surgical table.. My Mother (Who turned 96 last week) still has it and I will probably leave it with her when she passes..

I have heard of tranquilizer touchstones (and beads) but am unfamiliar  with this.  I get it now. So unlike the purported healing properties of a copper bracelet, this is a more tactile product. [I specifically bought a double-thick, pure silver, 1804 dollar from the Intaglio mint but it was in such pristine condition I nixed carrying it around.] Your idea is better. Can't argue with success. All the best!
