Round 50 Cent Piece.
Silver lining that stems to the roots,
“These ones are rare!”
1967, Smooth like a 20c piece, 100% pure silver. $7,000
Money is just a concept, a made up concept.
I remember the first time i had my first encounter.
Since i pay attention to small intricate details…
The ridges, were perfect, wear and tear, only on the parts that come to contact with our fingertips.
The untouchable parts that glimmer in the sun.
Instead of the standard ridgid edges of a normal 50c its round like a 20c.
I prefer my 50c pieces round;Soft if you please.
I once made a mistake. I was overly protective of this coin and kept it in a sandwhich bag situated, in my favourite milky way chested drawers. When we finished moving.
I never saw it again.
Ive been forever searching for my round 50c piece.
But I have to accept that i wont find that excat piece again. But maybe if i just accept it’s gone… And hope that it makes its way back to me… Eventually.
Hopefully. It will return.
Ill lay here and pray,
Self containment has never felt so astray.
Dw i won’t let myself fade away.
