<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 2303880, member: 76105&quot;]A lot of collectors have a miracle story where they found a valuable coin at almost no cost. Here&#039;s mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>One day, about two years ago, I stayed at my parent&#039;s workplace for the day. Everyone knew that I collected coins, so the owner of the workplace gave me a bowl of change to look through. After about an hour of picking through the bowl, I hadn&#039;t found much except for a few Wheaties. </p><p><br /></p><p>I decided to dig down to the bottom of the bowl, and there was this large silver coin staring at me. I pulled it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>It turned out to be an 1888-S Morgan Dollar (semi-key date!) but I didn&#039;t know it was valuable at that time. I dug into the other end of the bowl and found an 1879-S Morgan.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not believing my find, I looked up prices for these coins on Ebay. The 1888-S went for around $160 to $170 in a similar condition to the coin I had found. The 1879-S was a common date, of course.</p><p><br /></p><p>After work, my parents drove me to the nearby coin dealer where I got the coin checked out. It turned out being a genuine coin actually worth $160-$170, but I didn&#039;t sell it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have the coin, and I will try to post pictures soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
