[QUOTE="GaryBurke, post: 52662, member: 1874"]My best find happened once a month while attending college back in the 1960's. The loan which helped me stay in school arrived in check form once a month. I would take it to the bank and usually ask for $100 - $200 in silver dollars. The teller would go to the vault and bring me the dollars, which I would take home and look over before returning almost all of them. Peace and Morgan dollars. Many BU. Denver, Carson City. Philadelphia. New Orleans. Over the space of three years I probably looked through a couple thousand silver dollars. All mine, if I could have afforded to keep them. But, who could have guessed back then what value they would have today. I ended up keeping about 21, and they still reside in a blue Whitman folder to this day. :) :)[/QUOTE]
