definitely nothing but praises on your good luck on this one. Anytime you can get a Morgan, Barber, Walking Liberty at face value you did very well

Thanks everyone!
Americanmafia, I didn't get these in Burke. I was out and about and went to a bank I don't usually go to. A bank I'm sure to be checking once a week from now on.
Nickelsearcher, Smokey just got home and is looking at them right now, grading them for me.
And as for the teller, she had no clue what she was looking at. As she was counting them out, she was looking to see the face value. I had to instruct her: that one is a dollar, that is a half, that is a nickel, etc. She was completely ignorant as to how old American money looked. Hopefully, I can find more tellers like her :)

Yankee, none of the Morgans have mint marks but the quarter is an 1899 O. That's the only one with a mint mark.

WOW is right. Sure wonder just how smart that teller was to not see those.

The 1899-O quarter is really special.
Even from the [small] photo I can tell that it is at least a fine if not a very fine. Please do not clean it.
Also, it doesn't fit in with the other coins.
The half, nickel and dollars are ordinary, but the quarter must have been pulled from circulation many years earlier.
$30 to $50 for the quarter alone.
Give that teller some chocolate for Valentine's Day!
Upon second thought, the quarter is a VF-20.
