Only because at one time I collected all things Walter Johnson did I become aware of a "parallel universe" of coins--many 100% silver--of all-time great baseball players that have been issued over the past few decades. I call it a parallel universe because, other than the examples I would snag from time to time on Ebay or at shows, I literally never saw them before and never after. I don't know what explains their scarcity, perhaps there is just zero demand and therefore no market for them, but I've always thought they were way cool and make a nifty little sub-collection.

And there's this beauty, a pound of silver. When silver got up to $40 an ounce ten years ago, I sold mine!

Just ordered 4 silver coins tonight. Great idea for me who needs nothing for Birthday or Christmas. By the time they come, I will forgotten about them and they will be a great surprise.

I went to the US Mint page to check them out. Those are cool!

But then almost immediately my Facebook feed is filled with TONS of ads for all kinds of commemorative coins that I care nothing about.
