In my first blog I will talk about my first coin.
I am a Brazilian and I was in Miami on vacation, about 1980. I was ambling , saw a LCS and decided to go there. It was my first LCS. Inside I spent a few minutes looking at several coins and one of them caught my attention. It was a Canadian Silver Dollar showing a cowboy taming a horse (1975 Calgary). I paid U$15 for it. At that moment I got hooked.

Since I was a child I loved the word Silver. At that time there was a cowboy in TV called The Lone Ranger. He was always wearing a white suit, had a First Nation (that is how Canadians call the "indians") companion called Tonto, used only silver bullets and his horse was called Silver. I was a great fan. How could I not love silver ?

To those who want to know what is on the other side of this coin I can only tell you that it is a portrait of a Queen and that she is not Canadian. That happens in all Canadian coins that I know, since 1953.

Thank you for reading and please comment, upvote, resteem and advise me.
