There have been several on the forum here over the past year who have been lucky enough to find rolls of them I believe.

Wouldnt that be sweet!
Ive been asking and the only large ones so far are IKES. Even if some came to the bank I think most would leave in a tellers or managers pocket. I have gotten a number of franklins and walkers from tellers trays. My guess is its possible.

you might get lucky if you buy like a $500 bag of ikes or something like that. last year i found 2 1921-s morgans at work that someone used to buy cigarettes with. it happens, i think a sealed bag is your best bet tho.

I got one Peace dollar several years ago at the bank I get my boxes from. That was the only time in my years of CRH.

Re: can you still find morgan/peace $'s at banks?
I am lucky just to get Ike $$. Only been able to find 3 so far.
I had been asking for LARGE dollars and the girls always pick up the saq or anthony $$ and say do you mean these.
Lately when I go into a bank I carry a kennedy and ike coin in my pocket and hold them up to show and ask if they have any of these.

Re: can you still find morgan/peace $'s at banks?
I was lucky enough to get 100 Morgans at a bank where my cousin is head teller. A customer at the bank brought in a large quantity and my cousin called me to see if I wanted some of them. Yes, the customer was informed that she could get more at a dealer. Anyway, I was very lucky to get these and the answer to your question is: no, it's not likely that you will get Morgan or Peace dollars at a bank. This was a fluke. Another board member has asked me to post a scan of the Morgans. I will do that as soon as I get some time. I put all of them into airtight holders and I will have to remove them to scan (not easy). Tellers at almost any bank will know an old silver dollar when they see it. I have talked to tellers that recognize silver coins, old notes and pretty much anything out of the ordinary and they hang onto whatever they find. I consider myself lucky when I find ANY silver halves. You will have more luck finding old pennies and nickels. I personally don't mess with dimes since re-rolling is very labor intensive and the yield that you are likely to get is minimal at best.
Good luck with your roll hunting...

Re: can you still find morgan/peace $'s at banks?
I bought a 1922 Peace dollar last week from a teller. She said she saw it in her coin tray and noticed the date so she bought it herself from the bank. During the course of our conversation she told me this and sold it to me. I paid $10 for it. It is my first one so I am happy.
