... sometimes. My daughter brought this home for me last night!

She was counting her cash drawer at the start of her shift and found it.
Called me and said she found a silver dollar in her cash register and asked if I wanted it. Oh yeah right!
I thought yeah sure, probably some sort of joke. Well she was right ... maybe she does listen to me after all.

BTW this is my 100th post, I will do a give away later. Thanks everyone!

    Very Cool!

    I was half expecting a Walker until the page loaded!

    I'm surprised that one of the cashier's actually took this?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Nice toning image

    Someone at the pharmacy where I work bought a pack of cigarettes with 7 morgan dollars. The cashier kept them, and some of them were nice Uncs!

    I would guess stolen and put into circulation.

    But that is the 2nd story I have heard of an ASE circulating!

    Same here. It's cool to see one of those in circulated condition, although I'm not sure how many times it would have changed hands, if at all. My daughter works at a hockey rink, and the only thing she's found is the occasional Canadian Looney. Athough with the exchange rate now, maybe I should have her set those aside!

  • Very neat! You don't see those in change every day... or EVER!

    I like the way that one is toning/wearing. A nice find indeed.

    Why not, it's legal tender. At least I think it is.
  • 7-Eleven has them from time to time.

    They are too large to put in the registers so them leave them on the side and
    the workers are very happy to get rid of them because they don't fit in the register.

    My dad's friend once picked up half of a roll at a 7-Eleven.

    Break a $100 bill there and hopefully get one of those funny yellow $50 coins in change too. Nice score!

    nice pickup. I thought it was a Walker also until I saw the date.

    Just get her to bring some fries home next time and you'll be all set!

  • My Mom used to look for older coins for me in her restaurant in S. Illinois.
    That is, until she got paid for a cup of coffee with a '16-D dime.
    She knew enough to know what she had. End of free coins for me. Beginning of
    many years of selling them for her.
    One example of her dealings. She put an ad in the local paper offering $1.00 for a 1909-S penny.
    She got several and sure enough, one had the VDB on the back!
    You could at least buy your daughter a hamburger.

    She made a nice profit. Now I hope she'll keep bringing them home.

    Also somewhat sad that not only the spender of the "dollar" was ignorant of its value,but so are most of the general population, hence the cashiers accepting it only at "face value".

    It is somewhat understandable that older Roosies and Washingtons not to be picked as being of silver content, but when the coin being spent has nice large lettering stating .999 SILVER, well thats almost unbeliveable.

    I don't expect the average person to know the spot prices on pms, but it is general knownledge that silver and gold are "valuable".

    Probably a gift to some kid from a well meaning coin collector relative. He probably couldn't wait to spend it. image

    I've gotten 4 silver eagles for face value at my job before. I doubt that it's going to happen again.
