A co-worker of mine was walking home from work when he saw, laying on the sidewalk, a Morgan dollar! Now, I have found cents, nickels, and occasionally, quarters but a Morgan  Here is the cool part, he brought it to work for me to evaluate and to my amazement, it was an 1882-CC! Unfortunately, it had rim damage in 2 spots from hitting the sidewalk, but overall, a nice original VF20 coin. We were talking of the possible scenarios which led up to this coin laying on a public sidewalk. The only conclusion I have come up with is either being transported by someone, stolen, or a pocket piece. The last scenario is the least probable because of the original, VF20 surfaces. Anyway, thought I'd share that story  swcoin.ecrater.com

nice!
my friends dad found a Morgan on a street in NY (forgot which one it was).
it was encased in a metal and was most likely a broach.
to this day, my friend still has never removed the casing (although I begged him too)

I found a ten dollar bill last week when I went out to my mailbox but I've never found a collectible coin.

I "found" 4.50 in euro on the floor in an Irish Pub in Trier tonight.......tried to tell the person that dropped it, but they were drunk and beligerent. So - when he left, I picked it up, and gave it to the bartender.
Been a long time since I've had a memorable find other than some luck at coinstar.

Fatboy, the reject bin on the coinstar, like the change compartment on a drink or vending machine... thats where the "finds" are.. some people never check to see if anything was rejected edited because my fingers were not looking where I was typo'ing  Edited by twincam_04

Someone's loss is another person's gain nice Morgan! Thunderstorms on one side of the earth means it's nice sunny weather on the other side  when eating tasty & nutritious fried Chicken, that chicken died for that and it's always nice to be on the good end of the stick! |
