"I didn't know the Liberty Bell was in Denver!"

LOL I'm guessing you aren't aware of the historic Denver Tea Party either.

Was there a Tea Party coin? I don't remember it.

Here's a modern coin celebrating the parallel event to the lesser known Denver Tea Party ~ the Boston Tea Party celebration ;)

Ah, I had a feeling it was a commemorative. Thanks for pointing that out.

I used to collect coins a long time ago, still have a bunch, and am pretty sure the Franklin 50ยข proof I have is the prettiest of the American silver ones. That said, if there was such a thing as an oversized Mercury dime proof, I think that might win such a battle.
