Good: Buying a Morgan Dollar at silver spot price.
Better: Buying a Morgan Dollar at face value.

Best: Getting a Morgan Dollar for free!

I was about to use the coin counter in the bank lobby yesterday, and hit the button to start it. As it started spinning it made quite a loud racket, much louder than if just one or two bent coins were stuck in the spinning mechanism. So I stopped the counter and flipped up the lid at the top to reveal a die, two heavy-duty metal cylindrical numbering wheels and a large stud/bolt of some sort. Oh, and of course the 1921D Morgan Dollar as well 8).

It is pictured with and without flash. The coin has some residue on the obverse which appears to be some sort of rust that is stuck onto it. I theorize it sat somewhere with a piece of rusting metal on it for a very long time and the rust left a residue on the surface of the coin. No, the coin is not made of steel and it isn't rusting. It's just been transferred onto the surface from something else. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Sweet! I think maybe we'll find one to match it at Dunn's if the snow ever goes away!
