Morgan!

[FormerTeller]

So I'm dumping at the coin machine this morning, and after awhile the machine jams. The teller comes over, opens the machine, and starts digging around. "Here's the problem," she says, and pulls out a large dollar coin. I didn't recognize it at first, and thought it was foreign because the eagle looked kind of funky. When I realized what it was, my heart started racing. She just put it in the tray with the rest of my coins, fixed the machine, and went back to her desk.

When I cashed out my ticket, I told her this wasn't my coin, but that I'd like to buy it. She said it wasn't the bank's coin, and that I could have it. Wow!

Made me feel much better about dumping my 4 skunk boxes!

I've tried before, they won't let me.

Wow!!! That is just awesome... I can't believe someone would try to put that in a machine, but I did have a machine that broke last week because someone tried to dump Ike's into it.. I have gotten a peace dollar from a bank, but never a Morgan.. That is amazing.. Congrats..

That is a sweet find! I have not gotten any morgan dollars over the years, but have netted 3 peace dollars on various occasions.
Keep up the search,

Excellent find!! And free to boot, that's incredible. I'd be proud of that, it looks like it's in great shape.

I got two Peace dollars like that last month, when I was out of town. Can't wait to go back there to check again.
