<< <i>In the original uncropped 1938 photo, it is possible to count enough bags to account for nearly half of the 1938-D mintage of 491,600. >>
Was wondering how many were on the palette. It looks like there's 5 or 6 layers of 15 bags each, so 90 bags, 2000 coins per bag (right?) makes 180,000 coins weighing roughly 2 1/2 tons.

These are the 1896 Silver Certificates.>>
Note carefully the reverse if the 1896 $1. It documents the only lie that George Washington ever made. You see, he once told Martha "No one will ever come between us".
Just think of the quantity of silver dollars and gold coin required to back these notes...

I see $70 million in the two boxes in the middle of the top shelf. Great pic.
<< <i>As an old collector of postcards, I've seen that one several times. FYI, those four bags laying on the floor are Lafayette Dollars. If you price them at today's going rate, there is several million bucks laying there. >>
I gave away a postcard with that photo of the silver dollars. The postcard was postmarked 1909. Is that possible? It looked legit.
