[QUOTE="jblaur, post: 408881, member: 15370"]Hi everyone! I'll be the one to say I don't know ANYTHING about coins. But a few years ago I was working at a mini market and a younger guy handed me these coins for gas. Me, I wasn't thinking anything of it because I was always looking for silver 50 cent pieces because they're "pretty" and sound nice when you hit them off certrain surfaces. I noticed they were really shiny and said one dollar on them so I put the money for them in the drawer and kept the coins. Later when I was looking at them I seen the dates were 1878 and 1881. I figured the kid had to have taken them from grandparents or someone's collection so I looked out for any police reports of them missing but nothing. I still have them and did not know if they were worth any kind of money. From what I have been reading I just can't tell the difference. Some of them go for ridiculous prices on E-bay. I know they are both from San Francisco but that's it! And the bird has 7 feathers... I thought I read something about that too.[/QUOTE]
