'Teddy Roosevelt Silver Dollars'Come Home From Old U.S. Territory

摘要

When the Japanese invaded the Philippine Islands during World War II, thousands of U.S. Territorial Silver Dollars were hidden away in a secret cache to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Recently, a canvas bag filled with coins from the cache surfaced in Manila. It was immediately offered to our buyer because of our status in the coin industry. As he opened the bag, one by one, he found 500 U.S. Territorial Silver Dollars—the coins he'd heard stories of! These were "Teddy Roosevelt Silver Dollars," the only Silver Dollar created during Theodore Roosevelt's presidency!
