Today is Rare Coin Collectibles Day. In 1999, a
165-year-old silver dollar minted as a gift for the Sultan of
Muscat sold for a record $4.14 million at auction (the
previous record for a rare coin had been $1.8 million). The
coin, in collecting circles, is known as the Mona Lisa.

Today's Inspirational Quote:

"Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character.
The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the
feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue
him."

By William Carleton
