My Best EVER Face Value Score!

I took my son to tutoring and while he was busy I decided to go up the street to get a box of dimes. Of course, my first question is always "do you have any half dollars?" She said yes and bent down to grab a ziploc bag. The second I hear the jingle I said I'll talk the whole bag. She proceeds to dump the coins on the counter (ugh) and count them. $20.30 face value.

Behold, the best of the bunch....




Along with 6 Ikes , several 2000 P Sacs, 3 or 4 Kennedys, and 4 SBAs!

I have never EVER received Morgans at a bank and certainly not for face value. But the quarter is really the gem of the bunch. I don't have any Barber quarters so I'm thrilled to see that. I still have chills. I just can't believe I scored this today. February has been a good month to me so far.

Unreal!!!! Congrats!!!

 

This is EXACTLY why we do what we do!! Congrats!!!

 

That's wonderful!

 

Sounds to me like a kid got into his parent's collection :devil:
Nice score!

 

Wow is all that I can say!

 

Those are some fantastic finds indeed. Now, thats all wait for the do-gooders on this forum to sully these finds by saying the OP should have informed the teller of the value of these coins and/or attempted to find out who deposited them to begin with so they may be offered back.

 

Holy mackerel! That's quite a score!

 

Awesome! That's a once in a lifetime score!

 

My jaw hit the desk when I saw those! Nice finds!

There is no need to worry about tracking down the original owner, just look around for the kid that has been beaten to a bloody pulp by his parents.

 

Dear VAcookey. I am so jealous! Congrats! I hate.you!.haha jk! So happy for ya!

 

Thank you everyone! You know what's funny? There was a coin show today that I couldn't get to. I was so disappointed. But after going through everything I found today (I also found 7 40ers and a 64 roll searching) I think I had a better day than spending a couple hundred at a show.

 

Man, why can the banks in my area just have hoards of morgans, no, trade and seated dollars with no clue of value? I am not saying it should happen, but why not?

 

Or better yet, BU bags or whatever they had back then, of Flying Eagles, Indian Heads, 2 cents, 3 cents, the whole lot, for face value. Is that too much to ask?








Wait, don't answer that...

 

Heck of a score, VA. That Barber quarter looks like it's in nice shape too.

 

Congrats, great story!

 

Send me some positive vibes VA - you are En Fuego!!!

 

You know what? I almost didn't go to that bank. I had my daughter with me and she was complaning that she was hungry. I was trying to find a place to eat and decided to make a quick detour to the bank. If I had gone straight instead of making that right, somebody else would be enjoying my Morgans right now.

Lesson: Never ignore an opportunity to stop by a new bank if you have a little bit of cash on you. $20 was all I needed.

 

Wow what an amazing score,congrats!

 

Thats neat, I will have to remember to ask when I go to the bank.
