"found"? Laying on the floor? If you are the cashier and "found" them in the drawer, I'm guessing they were stolen from a collection, or someone inherited them and did not know the worth of the dollar. I think it unlikely that someone who knew the value of the dollar would just dump it for face value.

You could have a rare cc mint mark, picture of rev. will us if you have it. Either way you have a very nice coin, keep it from getting even a very small nick on it, try not to even touch it because of oil on your fingers.

I have split the quarter and dollar into their own topics with each being in the appropriate forum.

Reverse photo of the dollar added above.

Here is the quarter topic:

The last time I saw a post about a Morgan dollar circulating was never. That's crazy. $18 in silver alone.

Looks like a very nice almost uncirculated Morgan dollar. It is hard to tell if there is a cc mintmark on the reverse above the wreath. That would make it a lot more valuable. Don't clean it please,

no mint mark $40 to $50. CC mint mark maybe $500 to $600.
