Details!!
 

The owner of the convenient store does keep an eye out for us for silver, she's Awesome!!
Went in for a pack of smokes and she pulls it out of the cash register. Says I waited for you to come in all day yesterday, do you want it? She's already snagged us a few halves, a couple quarters and a silver dime.
I think we might owe her a dinner for this one.
 

Holy Crap!!!! That freaking sweet. i have yet to find me a silver dollar of any sort let alone get one with my change from a store.. congrats
 

If you got it for a dollar Im so jealous...
 

Question? If I was on my to metal detecting and I found this, can I now say I found my first silver dollar metal detecting? Lol
 

I say "technically yes".
 

Holy crap, that's beautiful, lucky dog
 

I wonder how these bullion coins end up in such strange places. Just last year I found a 1991 Silver Eagle someone had just thrown in the garbage. Pains me to wonder how much treasure is lost in some landfill right now.
That coin has a beautiful patina by the way :thumbsup: Amazing score!
 

I think somebody was hard up for cash. At this same convenient store a couple days earlier someone spent a red seal $5.00 and then the next day a couple silver certificates.
Nothing new has showed up since the Silver Eagle.
 

It is worth a whole lot more than a dollar. Amazing that someone spent $1.00 face value silver bullion coin because they don't circulate like "normal coins" someone had to have purchased it for probably $5-6 at the time it was new.
 

Very nice find, I would be 110% thrilled with that, in fact I do a happy dance if a teller has a single silver dime!

I have a similar story,

Back in September I went metal detecting and stepped on a Yellow Jacket's nest that was inside of a rotten log. The whole hive chased me and I got a sting to the leg. I stopped at the supermarket and saw a cashier was loading a self serve station and there was a silver quarter. She said she had some "silver dollars" and asked if I would want them? According to her, a few months ago some guy was annoyed because the Coinstar would not accept them and they have had them for a while, the cashiers were annoyed counting them every day and were about ready to throw them out a window. She has also set aside some 40% silver Kennedy halves for me too.

I thought new straight from the mint they were like $20.00 ?
 

That's Awesome Coinman123!!

Don't know if I could survive something like that. Lol It's hard to believe there's so many that have no clue.
 

Usually stolen from family collections or home breakins by adolescents and spent as clad.
 

Last year a coworker sold me a Morgan and a Peace dollar that he had for several years. He was working at a fast food restaurant and some little old guy came in and paid for a soda and fries with them. I guess it does happen. If I had a convenience store worker that was as good to me as she is to you, you better believe I'd take her to dinner.
