Beautiful slabs! I got a couple of little cutoffs of that material in a box from Ralph and Mary Ann and was surprised to see this particular rhyolite takes an incredible polish. Really neat stuff.....Mel

Daniel,a silver dollar in the first, a half dollar in the rest. Just added last pic with a quarter. Old silver coins are a work of art,alas that has passed by the wayside with the coins since 1964.

Great slabs Snuff. Is it stable? I could be wrong but the "eyes" in some of those slabs look like they're about to fall out.
Yep, love those old coins. Remember when we looked at foreign coins and snickered? Well here we are, caught up with the rest of the world. Worthless coins, worthless paper.
Daniel, a silver dime is the same size as a dime now, only now they are made of aluminum or some other worthless metal.

By the way, last I heard silver coins are worth 20 times face value, maybe more now.
