That was a rogue currency in the us Imperial and they support Ron Paul I collect Silver as I just like it. I have many ounce coins. The coins you speak of are called Liberty Dollars, the CIA confiscated millions of dollars worth last year,

I have a few of these and they have absolutely quad tripled in value, they are a nice coin.
The 2008 Silver dollar will be worth alot in years to come because of the shortage and the exchange rate is great at the moment.
Australian Koalas and Kookaburras are worth much more to buy from the mint and always sell for a lot more because of the low mintage.
