Took a drive today with the wife and son. We were heading down the coast to hit a beach or two. I knew there wouldn't be many bank stops so I picked a stop where there were two banks within walking distance and I could get in and out fast plus one had produced in the past.

First bank had nothing and the second one was heading that way as I could tell the tellers didn't have any interest or weren't holding anything. As I was leaving one teller said "Chrissy might have something but she is with a customer."

I turned around and up walks Chrissy who says right over here. I walk up to her window and look down in her tray and what do I see but a small stack of Morgans and Peace dollars. She says, your in luck someone just dropped off some funny money. Do you want it? I note that the other teller who wasn't very helpful almost runs over and says they might be worth some money. I could see she wasn't happy about this situation as the teller just stacks them on the counter and sells all six of them to me! Score! Oh yea, two 40% to go with them. Out I go out the door! Dates, 1889, 1921 Morgan, three 1922 and a 1926-s. All in fairly nice shape. Bring on that funny money!

There is nothing funny, about that kind of money. That is serious SILVER!! Very impressive.

Maine Jim, Are we to understand that you purchased these 6 silver dollars +2 40%ers for
face value ? Because if that is the case , by my reckoning you picked up about $95.00
worth of silver for $7.00 - Very nicely done ! I suggest excellent chocolates for the
teller who assisted you . Argentium.
 

Re: So the teller asks if I want this funny money...

can we see pics?? I love morgans and peace dollars
 

Got the camera out - point and shoot does well on text setting. I probably won't get a chance for the chocolates as it is a bit out of town and I only hit this area about every two months. I may make another trip by myself soon and hit the rest of the banks in the area. Definitely a right time right place deal. This is the most old silver dollars I have picked up at once.

Some of the most beautiful US coinage ever minted!!

Major score! Agree with Argentum: that teller deserves some truffles!
 

Maine-Jim,
Great score and nice pix. Congrats. Same thing happened to me today. Eight
90%ers (6 WLH and 2 Bens) just sitting in a tellers tray. Also one 40% kennedy.
See my post and pix.

i would have told her yea it's all funny money and i'd be more than happy to take any and all that came through the bank if she would just hold onto it for me :laughing7: :laughing7:
 

very cool, nice picks. I always ask for large dollars. Sometimes banks have them, but hardly ever. I've gotten a couple peace dollars over the last 2 years from tellers. One time I got lucky and there was a morgan in a roll of Ikes like 6 months ago. Haven't seen too many large dollars since then. Sweet score, I hope you get some more good ones soon!
