Sheepy Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 4:54 pm Hey all... My family and I just went to the new Cabels store in Post Falls, Id... we drive up I90 from Missoula, Mt and across Idaho. I've been this way many times, but this is the first time since I started collecting... We often take a pit stop at the 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar in Haugan... and I have looked at it before... but this was the first time I really looked! There are over 46,000 coins... over 10,600 real silver dollars (morgans and peace) the rest are Eisenhowers... the oldest is an 1876 Trade $. They receive over 1500 coins a year still... If you drive through you'll have to check it out. Here's a photo of the bar and part of a wall... it's a little old numbers are up... Image: mt2.jpg 45.89 KB Here's a link to an article... http://www.montanagaminggroup.com/i...parentPage/3 They even had some Morgans for sale... but I didn't have time to go through them... + I don't know much about Morgans...

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 12/04/2007 10:18 am For you East Coasters ... don't forget the Smithsonian Museum of U.S. History. That exhibit brings tears to my eyes everytime I visit. I wonder why the glass on those display cases is so thick. Report this Post to the Staff

Sheepy Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 12/04/2007 5:33 pm Seated Nut... I've been to Smithsonian... but long, long ago... I didn't even know they had a coin collection... I can just imagine the jaw dropping beauty... sigh... Don't the mints have collections? Kurt... funny my brother lives there and he loves it... but then again... where do you want to move to?

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 12/04/2007 5:38 pm Sheepy, whatever suits you! Yeah...some people love this place. Hit or miss, imo. I'm originally from just S. of the Canadian border, a sleepy fishing town, and never quite got used to this place. No matter...my gf lives in BC, and I'm moving up that way come Spring! A few years back, a friend moved back to Whitefish MT...she loves it there. Edited by KurtS 12/04/2007 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
