Message:: [QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 1240785, member: 27946"]At the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle there was a phenomenal exhibit called the "Million Silver Dollars" display.  It was literally one million Morgan and Peace silver dollars in one massive pile.  According to what I have read, visitors to the fair were able to purchase a silver dollar from the display encased in a nifty World's Fair holder. So here is my question:  Has anyone on CT ever run across a Morgan or Peace Dollar in a 1962 Seattle World's Fair holder?  I checked eBay but found nothing.  Google also came up empty - yet clearly these slabbed coins did exist and the public was able to purchase them.  Surely not all of them disappeared.  You'd think that most would be retained as a souvenir of both the fair and this unique exhibit. I would very much like to find and purchase one of these dollars if I can find one in the original holder.  You see, I was born six days after the fair opened, so it would be fun to add something like this to my birth year set.  It also appeals to me because I am both a numismatist and a collector of world's fair memorabilia. So, has anyone ever run across one of these or, better still, does anyone know where I might purchase one?[/QUOTE]
