Back in March, 1964, the Treasury Department ordered the end to paying out silver dollars. Yet with a coin shortage looming, and silver near or exceeding the face value of a silver dollar, later that year, congress voted to coin 45 million additional silver dollars, which turned out to be Peace Dollars, even though the Peace Dollar had not been coined for over 40 years.

The Expert's Guide to Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins is an enormous book. It contains over 600 pages full of information on coin collecting. The title is somewhat deceiving though in my opinion. I would not call it an investment book at all but rather a complete overview of almost any type of numismatic material made in the United States.

With the State Quarter program nearing an end, it may be time to reflect back on the program and determine which designs will stand the test of time and which ones will be scorned.
The State Quarter program kicked off in 1999 and was to end at the end of 2008. It has since been extended to add the US Territories to the program. Whether they should have been there from the beginning is a matter of debate for another time.

There are many different katana swords to choose from. First, katana swords are long and were mostly used by warriors in the early years of the Japanese wars and battles. However, they were more of a symbol than an actual weapon. Many warriors chose poles or other weapons that kept their attackers at a distance.
History and Culture of the Katana Sword -
Japanese warriors carried two sabers in their belt, both on the left side.

According to historians, the Bowie Knife has a long and rich history that began in the fall of 1827 at a duel on a Mississippi sandbar just above Natchez. The gentlemen involved were holding an 'interview' to settle an 'affair of honor' - what later became known as a duel. In the Old South, 'interviews' were common place, but this particular one became a fight of massive proportions.
