About The coin.
Always wanted to do a souvenir coin for Old West Daily Reader. Even before the leap onto the internet. However, the money for that extravagance took twenty plus years to appear. The fantasy for this coin is a multi-branched thought train over the afore mentioned twenty odd years.
It was a given that it was to be a physical souvenir of Old West Daily Reader. Particularly for the small cadre of folks whose subscriptions helped make it possible. Perhaps a few coin collectors and some of those interested in Western History will also take note. It’s definitely not a challenge coin.
It’s partly an advertising tool. There was never enough money to advertise the site to a large enough group to generate a sufficient number of subscribers to support the site. Likely to outlive the working site, these tokens leave something in hand far more durable and interesting than a business card. While they may not circulate, it could be that owners of the coins will show them to friends and associates. Particularly those whose interests lie in things western. New subscribers are always welcome. It would be nice if one of these coins finds a potential new home for the website.*
Does something substantial, such as these coins, imply that the website and its information might also be substantial and worth a look? Maybe? “¿quién sabe?”
My image is on the coin to commemorate the, now somewhat blurry, thousands of hours I have spent corralling all these words. I was inspired because I saw that Noah Webster put his picture on his dictionary. It was easy to get me on the coin. I designed it and wrote the check. I felt pretty good about the whole thing until several of my old pards asked, “Is this picture of you, the one from the post office?”
It most certainly is not that one! On this notable occasion, I was greeting Amtrak #5 at the station in Glenwood Springs, CO. We were planning to take a hostage. Well.. this was back in the day when you wouldn’t immediately be arrested, or shot, for such activity. That’s an issue for maybe, never…
I also would like to point out that this coin, with my likeness on it, true to form, has absolutely no monetary value. (I do feel some vague relief about that.) The vault at Old West Daily Reader ranch headquarters contains a bag of the coins under discussion, and nothing else. OK, one live spider, two dead flies…
I get into some great discussions!
It’s a fun thing to be able to give away.
GOOD LUCK to all of us!
