sheeptotherescue Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 09/19/2013 10:17 pm I was at the bank because I had a rebate card that I had mostly spent and wanted to get the rest in cash. I was doing a coin trade (on another site) and needed some Presidential dollar coins, so I asked if they could give me the balance in coins. The teller pulled out an envelope and plonked down three large dollars, the TWO you see, and a nice old Ike. This is by far the hugest found ever for me, and short of getting an ACTUAL gold coin back, I doubt I'll ever beat it.I walked down the street to the gold, silver, and coin store, and they offered me 16 each. I think I'll hold on to them for a while though. Sorry the pictures are a bit blurry. Oh, and they're S mint too Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 07:10 am Almost all of the products of the US and Canadian mints sold are actual legal tender. While the face value may be $1.00 or something the silver, gold or platinum metal content is often substantially higher. The exception is the Canadian $20.00 silver piece. It has a silver content somewhat less than $20 and is sold at face value. While not intended for circulation, this and other coins issued by the Mints that have a value stated on them are legal tender for that face value, regardless of their metal content value.

Not exactly true for Canadian, at least, but there is a lot of discussion about this already on this site, so I'll leave it at that. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 9:09 pm I think it's kind of great that many tellers and other bank people are not Numismatically smart. Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 09/20/2013 11:52 pm It's funny. If I was a teller and got something this unusual (for them), I would at least read it and hopefully a lightbulb would go on..ah, silver! Yeah Carl, good for us and awesome score! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
sheeptotherescue Valued Member United States 154 Posts	Posted 09/21/2013 2:09 pm vermontensium: There's nothing on the coin that says that's it's silver, unlike ASEs. I had never seen this design before, so my only tip off was the edge. shootnstars: Right place, right time indeed! The strangest thing about it was that the teller said she got them from a customer who said they got them from a Las Vegas casino as part of cashing out. I think that's what she said at least. Very strange circumstances for coins to get into circulation temporarily. Report this Post to the Staff
