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#39;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."
