Tooth Fairy #8

[bobquasit]

Sebastian lost his eighth tooth at school today. It was his upper right lateral incisor, and it had been very wiggly for quite some time. He'd complained that it was bleeding a few times in the past few days, but apparently it fell out without any problem.

I cleaned up one of my old tooth fairy silver dollars - a 1922 one - and did my job. This marks a turning point, of sorts; I only have seven silver dollars left, and he has eight. So it seems that I'd better keep an eye out for cheap silver dollars!

Or you can start giving him the gold Presidential dollars to start a collection for him to give to his kid. Or maybe the Silver Eagles But they are a bit expensive, when I started collecting them about 8 years ago they were $8. each as that was the price on an ounce of silver. I'm not sure what they are now.

Boy, I'm fumble fingered this morning. forgive the multiple edits.

The silver dollars I get for him now are the old Liberty ones from the 1920s and 30s, mostly. They cost about $20 each.

Presidential dollars? The thought of that bastard Bush's face on a coin makes me furious.

In any case, I'm a traditionalist; my father bought the old silver dollars for me, so I'll buy (or re-use) them for Sebastian. And with any luck, he'll give them to his children.

Are you not familiar with the Presidential Dollar coins yet? They are actually pretty neat. I'm a coin collector, I started collecting them when they started isuing them. They are real currency too, not the commemorative. I always get extra when I get my collector ones so I can actually use them in the local stores. I would love to see us get rid of the paper dollar in favor of dollar coins the way they did with the pound note in England. (before they all switched over to the Euro.

You don't have to worry about the Boy King's face on currency yet. The Presidential dollar coins are only dead presidents. They started at the beginning with Washington and so far have put out six total. They are putting out four a year.

I have a bunch of old Silver Kennedy half-dollars I got when I was younger. Hopefully Sebastian will keep the Silver dollars and pass them on.
