Simply stunning toned examples of our nations coin heritage .... thank you for sharing them.  I would enjoy 'seeing' via your images what else is in that album.

Wow, what a gorgeous half, DOCC! Thank you and your neighbor for sharing.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Here is 1921 Morgan, the Reverse had no color at all.

The encounter with my neighbor gave me an interesting idea for my son's upcoming 16th birthday. While he has always had little interest in my detecting and coin collecting, I'm guessing he might appreciate it a little more when he inherits what I have collected thus far.
I have a number of unused Wayte Raymond Dollar pages. While I know time alone may have allowed most of the sulfurs to escape naturally, I'm hoping the original wrapping on these preserved them enough to encouraged toning. I plan on making him a time capsule - I figure his 50th birthday should suffice.
I'll fill one page with 2023 Morgan & Peace Uncirculated Sets - I have 3 sets still in US Mint capsules so this is perfect. The other page will be filled with some of my better condition raw dollars (Seated, Morgan, Peace). I'm tempted to crack out a Bust Dollar and include but, that is still up for consideration.
I hope I am still around in November of 2059, would love to see the results.
