the coin brings a tear to me eye, as does the blarney stone *drunken irish sailor accent* :captain:


it's a ron paul liberty dollar, which the FBI confiscated from the maker, and is no longer available (except on ebay)...info about the raid which happened a couple months ago: http://votewritein.blogspot.com/2007...r-company.html

I have an 1849 Moffat & Co. $5 gold piece. It's an amazing piece of history. Read about it here -
