There was a case in Iowa some years back where for years every Christmas someone put a gold Kruggerand in a salvation army kettle. Are you assuming they didn't know its value either?</p><p><br /></p><p>I simply do not equate this with finding silver in change. The morgan BELONGS to someone, whomever owns the fountain. You assuming the donater did not know the value is your ASSUMPTION, which may or may NOT be true. What if they knew it was worth $40 but still wished to donate it? Its not your job to assume they were stupid and did not know its value, right? Even if they did not know the value, who are we to take advantage of that situation? Is it any different than being at someone's house and seeing a morgan on a table? Would you take it there and put 4 quarters in its place?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
