| The most amazing deposit ever!!!!
I'm sure that by now most of you know that I work at a bank. Last week I posted about a deposit that a local business made containing 350 Mercury dimes. I never that that I'd top that, but, I just did! An older gentleman came in this morning to make a deposit, and puposely waited for me. He came up to my station and set down his deposit. You guys won't believe this list:
29 Morgan Silver dollars
41 Peace Dollars
1935A $1 North Africa Silver Certificate
1957 $1 Star note Silver Certificate
1957 $1 Silver Certificate (3)
1957A $1 Silver Certificate (2)
1957B $1 Silver Certificate (10)
1935E $1 Silver Certificate (2)
1935H $1 Silver Certificate
1953 $5 Silver Certificate (2)
1953A $5 Silver Certificate (2)
1934C $5 Silver Certificate (2)
1934D $5 Silver Certificate
1928F $5 United States Note
1928 $20 Federal Reserve Note
Obviously, my eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets when I saw this hoard that had been dumped out. I didn't feel right just taking the money without informing the gentleman of what he was doing. I told him that he was depositing some valuable items and he smiled and said "I know". It turns out that this guy had seen my Redbook sitting out the previous week. He told me that he had no children to pass his collection on to, and thought that I might like it. I was astounded and thanked him A LOT!

A new guy at the bank saved me about 6 world coins he had found in change....said that since they aren't US they just get rid of them so I got them for free...nothing much but fun just the same!!

Heres the list for the coins:
Morgans
1878 2
1885-O 1
1901-S 1
1902 9
1921 13
1921-D 3
Peace
1921 6
1922 3
1923-S 8
1924 4
1925 6
1927-S 1
1935 11
1935-S 2
No Key dates here, but the coins all grade between XF and BU. The gentleman who made the deposit actually pulled them all from circulation back in the 1920's and 30's, when he was a teenager. Normally I sell the things I find at work to finance whatever collectinon I happen to be working on at the time. These, however, are keepers.

Actually that 1921 Peace is a key coin. If you have six of them then you might have yourself a small fortune there. My satin finish 1921 Peace is worth about $2,500 right now.

LOWELL,
If you truly have a 1921 "Satin Proof" Peace Dollar, it is worth a lot more than $2,500 unless it is in poor condition! Although the 1921 "Matte Proof" Peace Dollar is the coin that is sought after the most, the Satin Proofs are much rarer and bring high dollars when they come up for auction. Check out the link below of prices realized for both of these at auction. http://www.coinfacts.com/silver_doll...ace_dollar.htm
If you ever decide to sell it, then you might want to contact Heritage Coins or Bowers & Merena.

My recommendation would be to sell all but one of each of the Morgans and all but two of each of the Peace Dollars, keeping the best coins for your Collection! With the money you receive from the sell of the coin, you should be able to complete (although you will have to purchase another 1927-S) one or both sets of Peace Dollars and you will still have a good start on the Morgans. Before you sell any of the 1921 and 1922 Peace Dollars, have them checked out to see if any of these are Matte or Satin Proofs and if any are High Relief.
Congrats on your amazing, once in a lifetime purchase!
Good luck!
Frank
