SILVER SURFER: ALTERNATE DEFINITION

Gary Dunaier writes: "I thought someone else would
mention it, but apparently I'm the only comics fan who
takes the E-Sylum, so it falls upon me to share this
information with you.

When I hear "Silver Surfer" something completely
different (and non-numismatic) comes to mind...
Marvel Comics.

Cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia (Silver Surfer):

"The Silver Surfer is a Marvel Comics superhero.
Created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, he first appeared
in The Fantastic Four #48 (1966).

The Surfer was originally Norrin Radd of the planet
Zenn-La. He agreed to serve as a herald for the alien
Galactus to save Zenn-La from the planet-consuming super
being. Galactus granted Radd enormous cosmic powers and a
silvery appearance. On a surfboard-like vehicle he roamed
the cosmos, searching for new planets for Galactus to consume.
However, after an encounter with Earth’s Fantastic Four, he
betrayed Galactus, who doomed the Surfer to exile on Earth.

In a heavily philosophic late 1960s series, which was popular
in the hippie counter culture, the Surfer explored Earth.
Another, more cosmically themed series with a freed Surfer,
was published in the 1980s and 1990s and Marvel is currently
attempting another revival."
