No, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a 1922 silver dollar

That is 103 years ago

Think about 103 years

How many people touched this coin with their hands?

Maybe just 2 guys till me... or maybe thousands of people

Imagine you had the power to look at the past from the POV of any item.

To be able to look back and see where a thing has been

I would love to know where this coin has been

I imagine it has been touched by hundreds of people who all had interesting lives and their lineage possibly lives on

Is it possible I walked past the grand son of the man who held this coin 99 years ago? its entirely possible

That's what I love about old coins, especially a nice Morgan. Just imagine who could have held it in his/her hand. Maybe Wyatt Earp? Doc Holliday? Lola Montez?.... Even my great, great grandfather? It's a real connection to the past.
