As we were leaving, I glanced down at the sidewalk and noticed an odd-looking disc embedded in the stone. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 06/01/2025 8:38 pm Who in their right mind would sacrifice a genuine silver eagle for this? Then again it is California where even the value of an ounce of silver doesn't have much purchasing power. Report this Post to the Staff

(perhaps a visit reminder? or placed by the person installing the stairs?). Quote: Who in their right mind would sacrifice a genuine silver eagle for this? If it was done in 2017, the cost for the bullion coin would have been ~$20.00 (spot + premium) - hardly a significant investment for a lasting memory. (Even at today's silver spot price, it's not much of an expense.) Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
