In 1879, this is how a family kept what mattered.
A likeness went behind glass, into a leather case lined with velvet. The case closed with a brass hinge and went into a drawer. Someone opened it again decades later.
The Mint struck this dollar the same year. The silver is the same silver. Liberty’s profile, the eagle, the motto across the band. We folded the coin into a ring and kept every line of it.
Some things are made to be opened again.
