Picked up $48 in loose Ikes this evening, they were sealed in a white envelope and I didn't pay much attention at the time because I was on my way to the gym.

Dumped them out when I got home and heard the most beautiful sound...

The sound of silver. The sound of...

MY FIRST SILVER DOLLAR!

1890 Morgan Dollar to boot! Feels good, man. 8-)

Great Find! Its difficult to ever know for sure what to expect with this hobby but it often seems like the best finds are when we least expect it - esp with silver dollars because we're all so used to just expecting and getting more clad Ikes and then one day SURPRISE SURPRISE! lol.

Congrats and welcome to the club!

H$H!

Thanks, guys! I wasn't expecting anything when I picked up the envelope, let alone a Morgan.

I've had a suspicion that the same group of Ikes have been circulating around the banks in my area for a little while. Picked up from one bank and dumped at another, and then another, etc. by myself and the other various hunters in my area. Probably unfounded, but I started picking up any and all that I could find and bagging them up to hopefully ship them away.

For the last two weeks I couldn't find any Ikes anywhere, so I figured that throwing them in my bags of halves had worked.

Then I stumbled across these. So glad I was able to scoop them up before someone else. 8-)
