This always looked like a frame from a comic strip to me.

Pilgrim - "I just rowed this thing from Europe!"
Native American - "Really? You must be tired. Wanna come ashore?"
Pilgrim - [Raising hand] "How?"
Native American - [putting out hand] "Gimme Five!"

(Disclaimer: I don't write comic strips for a living)

@Beefer - that is hilarious. And I have to agree your verse fits the coin image quite well.

The Lost Colony of Roanoke Island North Carolina is the subject of today's coin. Authorized and minted for a strictly local celebration in August 1937.

With this issue we are at the next to last coin from the 'commemorative craze' era 1934 - 1939 that produced 29 of the 50 type set examples.

1937 Roanoke Island (NC) Anniversary Half Dollar - PCGS G06

Great contrast, these last two Roanokes! Congrats to you both!

The Rhode Island has one of the dumber obverses in the series, I agree.

Any more Jackie Robinson coins?

Lovely examples indeed shown by muddler ... so we do keep the line moving regardless of any other contributions.

I've seen the Robinson as a real challenge. That makes for a fun series.

I took this photo some time ago, and it's not the best, but here's my contribution to Jackie Robinson day. A proof half eagle ...
