well wipe the silly grin off my face
As usual, before we travel the byways and highways, and sometimes just
for local spending change, we stopped off at the local bank and picked up some $1 coins, $2.oo bills, and this time they didn't have any $.50 pieces, bummers on that. BUT I walked out with 10 "BIG" $1 coins, ALL Morgans, 7 of them "O" minty marks. Waa-Whooo!!!!! I tried to restrain myself till I could get home and try the electronic scales on the stack. the 10 coins weighed about 263 grams, The clink sound sure sounds sweet. Me thins these be the real deal. Today been berry berry goot to me! The rest of the exchange will serve as spending $$ as usual. One wonders if there are projections on the survival rate of the various years of the New Orleans Morgans? By the wayside the 1885 "O" looks very nice, I will consult my old Photograde and try to determine condition. |

Over all various grades from hole fillers to maybe vg ecxcept for the previously mentioned 1885 O, the 1921 P to me would grade better also, but during my formative collecting years the color would have caused me to not look at it too much despite probably being at least xf |

I find your story not to be credible.
Mind you, I'm not saying you're full of baloney , just that I wouldn't disagree with anybody who did. "hp" wrote in message ...

A number of years ago a long-time poster found a $20 Saint Gaudens in a roll of half dollars....nobody doubted that story. |

A number of years ago a long-time poster found a $20 Saint Gaudens in a roll of half dollars....nobody doubted that story. Back when I still asked checkout clerks to give me my change in dollar coins if they had any*, a fellow who didn't seem to be too familiar with US coinage said "Somebody gave me these" and they turned out to be half dollars that were not sandwiched and looked brighter than cupronickle.. I didn't try to read the dates (my eyes are crap) but they sure looked brand new to me.I tried to explain that he really didn't want to give those out as change at face value, and one of the waitresses came over to see what the problem was and told him that they were worth about $7 each; *that* he understood. So, my question is, how close was the waitress' apraisal? This would have been a few years ago. On at least one occasion I showed Mr. Benveniste a fairly recently dated silver quarter that I had received in change from a vending machine. *I've given up. Either they think I want to break my dollars into change, or, very rarely, one says "Awww, I wanted those..." -- "Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither." |
