As frequent readers know, I just bought my first "real" boat,
a Yankee 30 Mk 3.
Today, while getting the opinion of a boat yard guy re an
engine issue, I poked around the keel stepped mast step,
(really grungy), and found a washer....or at least I thought it
was a washer. I took it home and washed it off. Turned out
it was a silver dollar. 1880 Liberty.
My question to all my friends here is: should I replace the
original coin when I re-step the mast? Or should (can) I use
a more modern coin?
