Good.

Do you plan to add the "Trump" one to your collection when it comes out?   ;)

I suspect some of them are worth more than a cent today.

too bad the dollars were abused. Nice macro shots!
The Eisenhower would be worth hundreds in VG condition.

That is the point of the picture. The Eisenhower dollar was a jackpot winning, then it was engraved to commemorate the event. The Morgan dollar was punched with the letters T R A D E R. It was used as a pass for traders/brokers to enter company meetings, probably in the early part of the 20th century. Eisenhower dollars minted for circulation are worth face value.

The 'Indian Head' pennies were found damaged--why on earth the bust of an indigenous N American is on the head of a US penny defies understanding. The pennies in the photo are all damaged. --a metaphor for how these people have been treated....

The copper content is more valuable than the coins. They're too damaged to have any value to a collector.
