O' Money Bag's
Hi all ,.. Donât know where this post really belongâs ?? But I figured , this Oâ bank issued coin / currency bag may spark the interest of some coin collectors , and might be somewhat of a related collectible itself ,...I would like to know ??
Now , I assume this bag dates post 1933 as it reads Federal Deposit Insurance , and I suppose it could have easily been used through the fiftyâs ? The key to its age may lay with in the fine print , that Iâm sure you canât read in the pic,.. But reads ; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation *Member* ; 5,000 Maximum Insurance for each Depositor .
Anyway up till today Iâve been using it to hold my scrap silver that Iâve found , If I hear back from anyone that itâs a rare thing , Iâll stop using it as my Oâ silver poke .
Yet ,.. Another Oâ money bag , ;Cira late 60's early 70's ,. Now this one , I remember as a kid , as Grandpa would take me with him up to the Stock Yards in Sioux Falls , believed they paid cash back then ?? Anyway , near the yardâs we would stop off for a pop ,.. And Grandpa would invest in some ponyâs , but I never saw any ponyâs on the farm?? Good memoryâs , ..
...so I was happy when I found this bag in with a bunch of silver coin I brought back out here to Cali to scrap . Funny thing is , I called around up there in Sioux falls , couldnât find anyone willing to pay more then 1 Âœ X face .... 
... My coin dealer out here at the time payed me 4X face .A few times I carried over $500 face in coin ,through the metal detectors at the airports , this was pre 9-11 , donât believe you could do this today ?? I flipped through it all , didnât find much , kept all the dollars [the buy was 10-11 ? Ea.] a few nicer Franklin halfâs , but for the most part the stuff was well worn , .. The tooth fairy has made good use of part of my cut of ths stash ...
O.K. One last pic , this Standing Lib. Shows some cracks from ether a hard strike or hard planchet ,..?? I think itâs from the mint ,.. Cracks go though the coin , tisâ nothing more then a scraper , but it was odd . I was a bit surprised at the percentage of type I Standing Liberty Qâs , all dateless ,. Mind you, but I kept âem , maybe good cheap reverse fillerâs ?? Ohh,. I believe this small horde was pulled from circulation late fiftyâs /early sixtyâs ??
Well ,... Looks as if I got off point somewhere with this post ... But I would like to hear from ya , if you have any insight on the older money bag . Thanks ,..Blindpig
