In our current era of direct deposits, it’s easy to forget physical money was once the currency of the land. Issued December 18, 1879, this Philadelphia & Reading Railroad wage certificate in New Unused condition promised a $10 payment on May 12, 1880. It was signed by company president Franklin B. Gowen, who ruthlessly crushed union activities. Wage certificates might have been exchanged for coins like this Extra Fine 1879 Philadelphia Mint Morgan silver dollar. Over 145 years old, this set is a great gift for a history buff!
