I do not collect Morgan dollar but I would like to share how I got my first Morgan

It was November 2007, I took my son to Connecticut to see the "Day out with Thomas".
On our way home we stopped by a McDonald's by the highway for dinner.
After we done, we walked out of the door and I held the door for the person behind me.
The person was a biker, both hands held McDonald's bags, wearing black leather jacket with all kinds of chains and stuff on it.
We walked toward our car, the person caught up with me and managed to hold all the bags in left hand and right hand tried to reached his chest pocket for something. He handed me a coin, I forgot what he exactly said, but I remember one sentence he said to my son was "Good luck in school". It was dark I did not see what exactly the coin was, and I did not start collecting yet. So, I said thank you and we kept driving home.......
Over the years, I bought a couple of graded Morgan coins, and this coin sits with them.
My son will go to college in California the coming fall, so I figure my HHL will be doubled.

It's at least a $40 coin even if it is a philly coin! WTG!
Great story.... That would certainly be a family keepsake. Cheers, RickO
Nice story!
Imagine the history of this coin. It had to have been a pocket peice of some sort for him to be carrying it.
Imagine all the bar fights, drug deals, club initiations etc. this coin may have been through!! Amazing!
Great story. Giving stuff away is soooo much fun!
