All That for Silver Dollars?


I know that the point of this is to get to the grisly revenge stuff. But, honestly, two murders, plus one maiming and an attempted murder for...silver dollars?

Tough for me, and I'm guessing, quite a few others, to buy that.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

The silver dollars were incidental, I think. They do carry a particular value, but it seemed like window dressing to justify Rane's vengeance over the senseless death of his family.

People are murdered all the time for less than two thousand dollars and that amount was worth considerably more in 1974.

Absent the potential collector's item value of these silver dollars, two thousand five hundred and fifty five of them today would be worth $13,413.75 (March 11, 2020).

There you go.
