    they might not have been there al that long. considering what they are, they would have been scattered further and further aprt as time went on and one or more coins repeatedly got run over. if you found them relativly close to each other, its more likely somone just decided to torture the coins and toss them out.

    sad indeed!

    then again.. for a melt value so high... who would just toss em out... are they possibly fake?

    one should always looka t the bright side instead of seeing the glass half empty its always best to see it half full just my 2 cents u should tak eit to a dealer to see how much they will give you probably not above melt. i dont know about anyone else but i would get excited if i found 50 bucks on th e street or even 5 bucks :)

    Yeah, just take 'em into any old coin store and they should buy them off you for just under the spot price of silver. My guess is $8-9 a pop, since they're 90% silver and less than an ounce minus a little more because of the wear. Don't know what the ASW is exactly, but silver's about $12.80 right now.

    Sorry, but I find it hard to feel bad for anyone who walks along and just happens to find #5 (FIVE!!!!) silver dollars laying on the side of the street.

    I would be happy as all heck.
    (even tho they were crummy as anything.)

    That's an interesting find for something laying in the street. I would take them to a dealer and get melt for them.

    I could be seeing things, it looks a bit like the Peace dollar has FAKE crudely gouged into it?
    Or maybe not....
