I never understood why people wanted coins that went straight from the mint to a bank (or vendor) to a collector to be put away and never thought about again. (other than to perhaps rub one's hands in glee at the thought of the huge windfall profits one would reap when it was sold.) Where is the historical wonder about a Morgan dollar that sat in a bank vault for 75 years instead of being tossed in the middle of an old west poker game or being spent on a train ticket to the big city?</p><p><br /></p><p>Those worn out Barbers worked every day to move America.
