Reflections coming through the radio, the telephone, the TV

a_reasonable_man thought I could use a talisman and brought me a 1923 Peace dollar that belonged most likely to his grandfather's second wife. It's as old as my grandmother would be. I have buttoned it inside my coat. It's a treasure.

A very strong talisman indeed. I’m glad it’s with you. (It can share a pocket with the bracelet!)

What a lovely talisman. May it be e pluribus unum again one day.

Ooh I love it.

One of my Facebook friends is a Jewish witch who makes talismans. It's fascinating (so is her site).

I love silver dollars as talismans, and what a remarkable history! My mother still carries a Morgan dollar her father gave her when she was a child.

:O That's so cool.

That's really neat. My dad acquired a silver dollar as a young man and decided not to spend it, so he carried it in his pocket every day. By the time I was a boy in the early 1970s, it had worn into a smooth featureless disk. People would see it when he pulled out his change to pay for something and they'd ask what it was. He'd reply "That's the new Nixon dollar!" I don't know what eventually happened to it, but I hope it was buried with him.

Oh, wow...! That's beautiful.
