A Rare American Coin

This coin depicting a head of man with laurel is a rare treasure from the American History, as an auctioneer I could sell it for a large sum of money: its estimated price is over two-thousand-dollars, it shows it was minted in eighteen-ninety-four, come forward and bid! I found it among pennies I saved for rainy days, there must be at least four thousand of them; my collection includes contemporary silver dollars, many generations must pass to accumulate value... any other collector would action them any day! I jealously hold onto them to own a piece of History: how they glitter in glass cases on my walls! I may donate them to the American History Museum in Manhattan and see them on display! Many auctioneers would love to get hold of my silver coin, their mind is set solely on greed, not thinking of its history which can unravel fascinating details about of its minting process; the unknown artisan was very skilled in itching date and image on both sides to testify the greatness and wealth of this nation, but Americans don't realize that they are very wealthy indeed!
