psuman08 Pillar of the Community United States 1876 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 1:45 pm Up for review is a Tidy House dollar. If you are not familiar with these, here is a little background. From APMEX, "One of the best-known cases of Silver Dollars being used for promotional purposes, Tidy House Morgan dollars are prized by collectors for the sulfur-rich cardboard in which they were distributed which causes rich, natural toning on the coins within. Tidy House Products Co. was a manufacturer of household cleaning products which was acquired by Pillsbury in 1960. As a promotion Tidy House sold BU Silver dollars and BU half dollars at a small premium. The coins are believed to have come from original mint bags purchased by Tidy House. From the CU forum, "Bob Osterholm, was the President and COO in charge of daily operations. He was the one who came up with the promotional idea for the Tidy House coins and had a fairly large collection until late in his life." For more info, check out http://goccf.com/t/163403.

Jakes Coins Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 1:49 pm woah a beauty.. Auction photos arent much help & I bet the tv photos lie. I wanted to say Ms66.. but will go ms65... Upon further review it does appear there are marks to the cheek under the tone.. Will lower my guess to ms64 I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set \| Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better?

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
