Morgan Dollar

I am not an avid coin collector, but I have always liked old coins. Here is an old Morgan dollar. I'll have to take a picture of my 1944 Steel Penny one of these days. Just kidding, it is not one of the oh so rare, 1944's, it is a 1943 Steel (I wish it was copper) penny.

Interesting Coin

I really know very little about this coin. It is very worn as one can quickly see. I think it would be interesting to know the whole journey that it took before finally ending up with my family, especially when you consider it was around before the United States of America.

If you know anything about the coin feel free to comment. Here (translated from German to English) is the most I have found about it.

Ford Industrial Power

I was surprised to find that the backup power for this nursing facility was a gasoline powered Ford Straight Six. Prior to actually seeing it, I would have guessed it would have been a diesel. A quick flip of the switch and it came to life.
