    I knew someone inherited a huge coin collection that included 100s of Morgan Dollars. I told him I wanted to buy them for more than face value. This was huge, old bank notes in the 10,000s+++ in face value. 100s+ Morgan dollars rare, beautiful condition 1804 and just about every date the man had been in his 90s. I called him again he said he got rid of them for face vaule.

    Yeah, of course the beautiful "1804"........

    I guess you know he had the 1913 "V" nickel, and the rest of the 1933 duoble eagles, a roll of origanal 1893-S Morgans in MS65+++ were included......

    what an idiot, and you even told him.
    But, I have had that happen before.
    I even had a client tell me that he had just rolled and gotten rid of over $1,000 in silver (face value) at work.

    Don't be unhappy. Be happy that you missed out on this deal. More than likely the coins were counterfeit from China. Once, I held in my hands over 50% of the population of the 1804 dollars. The only problem with these coins is that they didn't weigh the right amount. I feel sorry for the bank employee who took them in at face.
