Message:: [QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 1361172, member: 27946"]More evidence suggesting my Morgan dollar is an original from the display I did a bit more reading of that article I found today and read the following passage with great interest:<blockquote> "On April 2, 1962 the trucks backed up to the mint to load the nearly 30 ton cargo. $500,000 of canvas bags, each with 1,000 silver dollars were loaded into steel boxes bolted to the floor of each truck in three hours. The convoy then set out with police escorts through towns and state patrol cars on highways while Pinkerton agents were scattered through the various vehicles. All expenses during the 13 day trip were paid for with silver dollars, often under the watchful eyes of the local press which, along with the billboard-like trucks, generated publicity in their wake. As soon as they reached Seattle, silver dollars were purchased from local banks to replenish those paid out along the way." </blockquote>So, it is even possible that my 1900 Morgan in the holder could have come from a Seattle bank, though more likely from one of the other banks in the federal reserve system. At this point, I'm pretty well satisfied that I've purchased the real deal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
