Pretty cool. Note the toning. Full article is in the link below. I think they're missing the dime.

A shame there is not a better pic of those coins!
My Early Large Cents
Interesting... Cornerstones were once a big deal.... Not so much anymore it seems. Prior to building our new factory in Washington state, we had three older buildings, one was once a school. I diligently searched for cornerstones prior to leaving those buildings (they were going to be destroyed anyway), but never found any evidence of any. Cheers, RickO
It’s worth noting that Morgan $1 was worth $25 adjusted for inflation. Thanks Col Harts!
According to numismatic legend The 1928-P Peace Dollar was once known as the Cornerstone coin because for a while the entire production run was sitting in Treasury vaults, but the Treasury let it be known that if somebody needed one to put in a cornerstone they would be happy to oblige.
Cool story, thanks for sharing!
Cool story
Need a better pic! That is cool.
The cent is missing. Dime is there.
I'm not certain why folks think the dime and/or cent might be missing. They are all there in denomination order, left-to-right, from dollar to cent.

Maybe that explains why we hear so many complaints that their eBay package was missing the coin.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
It looks like an empty hole to me.
