<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1voice, post: 16787, member: 1362&quot;]Hello,</p><p><br /></p><p>My father got a silver dollar for his pay while in the military. It was his first silver dollar so he kept it in his pocket for many years. He&#039;s gone, now, so I&#039;m trying to remember what he told me about it, and to see if it has any value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me preface by saying the coin is so worn you can only see a vague outline of the lady&#039;s head (a morgan, maybe?) on the front - no date, no sides, nothing else except for a crack, that goes right through the coin from front to back, that he told me was there when he got it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe he said that the dollar was dated 1920? or 1928 (he was born in 1928, so my memory may be faulty here) and I remember being in awe that he got such an &quot;old coin&quot; that was new while he was in the military in the mid-late 1940&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, do I have anything worth anything other than memories of my father? How should I take care of it from here?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I appreciate any information - and please be brutally honest; I&#039;m not expecting anything exciting based on its present condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>L J[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
