What I want for Christmas: 12 Days of Christmas- Day 5
This is 5th in the series of articles that I am under the #twelvedaysofchristmas tag which my bestie, @silverd510 started as a Santa’s wish list for stackers. You can read more about this tag and the rules to join in here.
Like him and those who want to join in on this fun article series, I shall be posting a bar, round or coin a day [for 12 days] that I would love to get as a gift.
For my 12 Days of Christmas Day 5 and the fifth on my list is the US coin pictured below!
1935 Hudson Sesquicentennial Silver Half Dollar

Source of above informationThe Halve Maen (Half Moon) – The Netherlands – 1608-1618
In late summer 1609, the newly-built Dutch flyboat the Halve Maen entered New York harbor after sailing up and down the mid-Atlantic coast of North America. The ship’s captain was Henry Hudson, an Englishman hired by the Dutch officials of the United East India Company to covertly discover a shortened eastern trade route.
Hudson had attempted to find such a route twice before and believed he was heading towards Cathay (China) when he arrived at North America’s northeastern shores. Hudson and Halve Maen made it all the way to present-day Albany along the “Hudson” River before deciding his ship could no longer proceed up the shallow waters. So he turned back, finding no route to the Orient.
Amazingly, Halve Maen was in service for only eleven years. The ship was attacked and destroyed during an English attack on Jakarta, Indonesia in 1618. Replicas have been built over the years, including one commissioned by the Netherlands in 1909 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Hudson’s voyage. That ship outlasted the original by fourteen years before a fire consumed it in 1934. Today, another replica (built in 2005) sails along the Hudson River, owned and operated by a non-profit organization.

Wow! That one is a beauty saver 🤩🤩🤩 i’ve Never seen it before, but as you may expect, it appeals to mine eye👍
Isn't it so, @thedamus! It is on my wish list because realistically, I will not be able to get this coin... it runs counter to my stacking strategy, hahaha! I am so happy to hear from you, my dear friend. I know that life is busy. Sometimes, I think of quitting steemit. It is never easy for me. But it is the chance that you might drop by and say hello that keeps me here, my friend!
Have a beautiful weekend ahead. Cheers, and take care 🥰🌺🤙

Ooo I have never seen this coin before. Usually I sort of find the old US coins a bit boring, but this is so unique! The ship is cool and the back is nutty in a great way.
