That you saw a Morgan, Bust, or anything in a dollar before 1921 - in circulation- I mean picked it up from the store or the bank, etc....
I got one today from the local grocery store dude- he had no idea what he gave to me- yes ethel it is an 1883 philly- purty nice coin- aboot a vg8. When I told him its worth about 9 dollars he shrugged his shoulders and said it won't fit in a cigarette machine and he has no use for it. I gave him my card and said to call me whenever he gets these big ugly coins- any of them- I'll be more than happy to take it off his hands..
Amazing at what some people do not know.
PK- anyone else?

1997: 2 Five Dollar Silver Certs and 3 Two Dollar Red Seals
1998: One 1922 Peace Dollar, One dateless Standing Liberty Quarter
2000: One 1894 Barber Half Dollar
On top of these finds I pulled loads of common silver from the till. There were many Silver Roosies, a few Merc Dimes, lots of pre-1965 Washington Quarters, etc. The stuff above was just the stand out material. I sold it all before I came to appreciate it, some to collectors, some on eBay. The only one I kept was the 1894 Barber Half. It's a solid original G4 and now resides in my Dansco 7070 as part of the world's ugliest type set. Those were the salad days buddy. Poor as a church mouse and happy as a lark. I'd love to have another shot at that.
He gladly handed them over in echange for two 1 dollar bills.
They call me "Pack the Ripper"
