Always Ask The Tellers If They Have Large Dollar Coins

Most of the tellers I know are also coin collectors, or a teller in the branch is.
You're lucky to get these!

Great finds! You don't see that everyday.

I never ask tellers if they have "silver dollars" because I don't want to tip them off about the existence of those coins. I typically hold up an Eisenhower dollar (to show them the size of this coin) and ask if they have any "large dollars". Some tellers are familiar with Eisenhower dollars -- but others ask to examine it because they haven't seen one previously.

I agree it is remarkable that someone who owns Morgan dollars doesn't realize their value. However, this is the second time I've acquired silver dollars at face value. Last August a teller told me he had five large dollars in his tray. The top one was an Eisenhower coin -- but he also handed me two Morgan dollars and two Peace dollars. The teller told me someone who operates a liquor store deposited the coins. I surmise that a customer who was desperate to purchase alcohol gave them to him.

very nice finds!

I don't think I've ever landed any dollar coins earlier than Eisenhowers bank roll hunting, but I've gotten Walking Liberty and Franklin halves in some rolls of halves I got about 20-some years ago. One roll had eight silvers in it.

Asking the tellers at my credit union about large dollar coins would most likely have them look at me like I were an E.T.
It's been my only "bank" account since 1987, but I've been thinking for a long time that I need to open a real bank account. If only there was a way to choose one that would be likely to have customer goodies turned in.

I learned long ago that my CU is a bust in this regard, after multiple tries over a few years.

Very nice!

Oh well, at least now you know
