Cascade I think tha 92CC is pretty nice, but a little more than I want to spend. They are going to talk to another dealer on Monday, unless they sell it this weekend. I am picking up the 91 CC ... Because it is better than the one I have. And swapped out a couple others as upgrades. There is a lot more to this collection ... Also got 27 more 40% Ike's. And some commemorative dollars. Have not went through the mint sets yet, and there is a lot more coming Next Friday.   |

I don't own the LCS, but work there. The family has two LCS in the
area. It is fun to see all the coins that come in, and work with the
people selling ... And buying coins.
Plus I get to add a lot of coins to my collection.

Nice pick ups! If I could only go back in time when you could walk into a bank and get a Morgan silver dollar for face! I can't get the flux capacitor working on my DeLorean time machine...oh well, I will just have to listen to the stories retold.  |

Rk55, you still can get a morgan for face at a banks. It's rare but does happen GR, that's a sweet 92 but I know what you mean. On the flip side it looks like your 40% monster is gaining ground  |

I would love to be able to buy such collections, but I don't own a shop. Perhaps I could advertise anyway in the local papers or on Craigslist. That collection, I would have bought outright, 100% intact, and preserved it. Those are awesome coins with a great back story. I inherited about a roll of circulated Morgans and Peace dollars from my grandparents who also saved them from circulation after he got back from the war, my grandpa owned a body shop and also made frequent trips to Reno. Mostly well worn and circulated coins, no CC's. Member ANA - EAC - TNA - SSDC - CCT #890 "Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done." -- Louis D.

Cool story! Lots of CCs in that hoard. The number of these circulation driven collections has to be on the decline as the old-timers get up there in years and their heirs disburse their collections.

If I were to work at a coin store, I'd never take home a pay check.

There is a buyer looking at it Tomorrow. I am curious what it will sell for. Greysheet AU $500+ BU 1200+ Everyone that has looked at it thinks BU or better. Pretty nice for a coin that was found in circulation. |

 Love the coins AND the story!! I would get a bill for every day I worked in a coin store. No paycheck, just a you owe me X $'s note from the owner. |

Not my place to say what the coin sold for.
But it did trade as a BU coin.
It really was a nice coin, my Ipad picture did not do it Justice.
I will be picking up the 1891 CC tomorrow.

I was thinking of offering 1k for it GR but I have something else on my radar right now. I was thinking it probably looked better in hand too. I bet the new owner is happy  |

Not sure what they would have taken for it last Friday.
But it did end up selling for more than that. As I said before
my IPad camera does not capture the true look of a coin,
at least not with me taking the pic.
I too would have liked to buy it, but same thing, I have other
purchases lined up.
I hope when I am a little older I can focus on just getting
better coins like that.
