I have known a few old timers who have carried 1 in their pocket so they could "never be broke". I will say this about finding silver coins on So.Cal beaches. The majority are encrusted black. A few have been similar to the dollar you found. Even more odd are "blast white" silver coins I have found after / during big storms in the wet. My thinking is they are cleaned by the tumbling wave action because they have a grainy sandblasted appearance. Very rare and unusual when I've found them like this.
Your getting soft!
