I got a Facebook ad. for this coin for $480! Wow. I thought it was minted by the U.S. mint. No so. Minted in/by Barbados.

Very cool. I guess minted for collectors rather than for actual circulation.

Not sure whether it sells, anywhere, for $5 (Barbados) –> i.e., $2.48 in REAL MONEY!

The cheapest I have seen it, so far, on the Web is ~$380.

3 oz of silver, per today’s spot price, will be U.S. $90. So that is quite the markup.

Wow.

COOL, but I am not interested. I am weaning myself away from buying any new collectibles.

At best, if that, I was only vaguely aware of this, i.e., that there was a time when Native Indians did not have U.S. citizenship. I did NOT know about this act passed in 1924. Very neat. I was glad & excited to learn about.

It came to my attention, this morning, thanks to an Ad. on Facebook by the U.S. Mint. Wow. I had to look it up. Made my day.

I am tempted to buy a roll of coins. If I had seen this, well ahead of my trip to the Mi’kmaq Mawiomi I would definitely have got a roll. It would have been NEAT to give some — especially to kids.

Not sure whether I will be meeting any Natives in the next few months. No plans.

But, I will keep this in mind. Neat. Very neat. I am chuffed.
