Picked these up at a coin show today (1881-S & 1882-S). From what I can find, these were promotional items for opening a new account with the bank. Presumably, the one on the right is an older marketing piece, as it lists one fewer branch (unless the bank closed the Dairy Ashford branch - I guess it could go either way). Looks like they'd both grade MS64 or better. Presumably, these were issued in the 50s or 60s and represent someone's choice of the highest grade Morgans available from the bank's holdings. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=380370 Anyone else have one of these in your collection?
This is just a wild guess, but I think they are from the 60's because that is when the Treasury releases began. NOTE: A lot of Savings & Loans went under in the late 50's.
I've been out bid on a couple on ebay in the past and still do not have one of these or the old Tidy House promos. I would have scooped them up as well (if the price was right).
Those are pretty cool!! My parents were given a 21 Morgan in a plastic "bootie" by their bank when I was born in 1960. Unfortunately, the bootie has since fallen apart, but I still have the 21!! (And, no, its not the one I'm using for my avatar )
Im very into AS&Loan and have over 20 such pieces...these started in 1967 and ran til 1971 with Ike dollars.....also have bank flyer showing first releases which was showing the promotion....dated 1967....which contained a mint set of Mexico 1967 mint set & had a silver 1948 UN Pecos for give away....just for starting a 100.00 $ saving account.,....plenty of history if u can find all the different packs....about 8 of them...first ones in 2x2 flip with rubber stamp saying ...American savings and loan...on Main street...then went to a solid black case....then a red one with white shield.,.then a red one like the ones pictured...then a flat pack red in color....with Morgan and peace dollar being used...and then all denomination coins in red flat pack...then Kennedy's in flat pack 1964....anyway ....these are getting hard to find....keep searching for more...will gain in value in future...GOD Bless....Brian
