Today I stopped at a bank I've never used before to cash a hometowners check for the kitchen rewire I did over the weekend and I happen to ask the teller of they had an rolls of half dollars she said yes $120 worth and I said I'll take them all. She said okay I have $80 in rolls and $40 in a envelope. I put the rolls in my pocket and grab the envelope and i felt the size of the coins were not half dollars. I open it to find $40 in Ike's and right when I was about to tell her I noticed a liberty face and to my surprise it was a worn 1921 Morgan. So I run out to my car and dump the rest and found another one 1921 Morgan. Now I haven't done roll searches in 2 years atleast and I couldn't believe my luck. Wow. Oh and only 1 silver half. A 1967. Have y'all ever found a Morgan in the wild? P.s.this was alot to type on my phone so pardon any misspellings or running sentences

I second that... A Morgan in the wild is the holy grail of roll searchers. Nice find man!!

I found 3 Morgans and an ASE in a teller drawer before, that was a heck of a score... Found a couple peace dollars too, but we're talking probably 2000+ stops at banks. They're rarer than hens teeth! I'd say 5 stops produced silver dollars out of those 2k+ stops.
Wow bro. I bet I haven't roll searched 10 times total but I've asked many many places and they usually have nothing. Surprised me when this grocery store branch had quantity

Strangely enough, no one was impressed including me.

I have not seen a Morgan at a bank since the late 60's.
Congrats !!

No, never found a Morgan in the wild (well in at least 45 years or so).

so did you tell her they were not half dollars?
Yes and she tried to argue til I showed her the difference. I almost gave them back until I saw the Morgan obverse way down in there.

Nice! I scored a 1965 Kennedy on Friday when I went to pay my car loan at the bank. I was so excited to see a full silver rim half mixed in with the clad ones. Made sure to get all halves in the tray $7.50 worth to avoid suspicion.
Haha I always say I'm putting 4 sets together for my kids. Which isn't 100% false.
