The Story Of The Lucky Morgan Silver Dollar.

A few Years back when I first started buying I bought 20 1921 MSD's. Nothing special, but nice coins. Theres never been a bad MSD in my book.

Well I started handing them out to Loyal friends and family Ive known for years or giving them as gifts for same. Along with the coin, nicely slabbed in a plastic holder, I told a tale of how in the Old West it was considered good luck to give a friend a MSD to carry on themselves and when life went sour, usually in a poker game, it would turn their luck around by holding it in their hands and saying a Hail Mary prayer. But its also bad luck to ever sell the coin, instead they must give it away as a gift as well.

I'm a Christian and a Hail Mary prayer is a Catholic prayer to Mother Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ. I got the idea for this from the movie Godfather ll when Fredo Corleone told the kid whenever he said a Hail Mary when fishing he'd catch a fish.

Anyway I just made it up and told the 20 people it I gave the coins away too. I'm a person who values loyalty and everyone I gave them to believes my story, which I think is kind of a nice story and kind of a nice way to give back to the hobby that has brought me so much pleasure,and to the people, friends and family, whose loyalty and love I appreciate so much.

And maybe 100 years from now someones great, great, great grandkid or nephew/niece will tell the story of the Lucky 1921 MSD's they are holding in their hands, remembering the old man whose name they can't quite recall.

And thats what I believe its all about. Buying bullion and collecting and passing on some or all of what we have loved over the years to the people we have loved as well.

Its about "Legacy". In the end its about Legacy and the good honest life you have lived in service to others and what better way to show it then the gift of a coin and a story behind it ?
