How Far Back Can We Go? Second Edition! - Ended At 1492 Waiting On 1491 -

the Liberty figure is nice, a bit of a departure from the "usual" Liberty images

1987 Constitution Silver Dollar & Gold $5 proof and uncirculated

Darn it... wanted to post an 1987 (when I make some photos...) and thought the day wasn't yet over.
(Thinking of it, it probably wasn't; unless I heavily miscounted something here, the last 1988 coin was posted less than 24 hours before that 1986 coin. So something is clearly off.)

That said, since I didn't want to create a major problem, I wouldn't dare try to post anything like that unless there's a decision in my favor from someone high up (e.g. the OP); in fact I already realized why my logic might be wrong (if 11/1 was 2007 day as stated in OP, 11/21 would've been 1987 day, and 11/22 aka today would've been 1986 day; OTOH, 11/19 was clearly declared 1990 day by jbuck, which would mean today is 1987 day).
I suppose I could always just ignore this and try to come in again when we get to dates a few decades earlier. Or to 1599... not many people here other than me with 1599-dated coins (or 1615, or 1622, or 1626; there's at least a half-dozen other dates in my collection for the 17th century - plus 1521 and 1517 in the 16th but we might not get that far).


EDIT:
Apparently, while I was writing this, there was just such a decision posted.
So I suppose I should go and try to get a photo of my coin before it's too late

A great submission, Gwyde! Thank you for sharing the history.

The year of the start of our modern silver dollar.

Yes this will be quite a dead zone for me until we enter the 60's.
