My First ASE!

I have friends at the Woodforest Bank (in Walmart) near me. One of the tellers told me a story of when she first started at the bank. About eight years ago, she started work in Gulfport, Mississippi. While there, a man brought in a bag of big, shiny dollar coins. She bought the whole bag for the heck of it, then researched them on ebay. "Turns out they were worth way more than a dollar," she told me. "I'll bring one in for you to see."

Well, a few weeks later, I stopped by. She said hello, then said,"I have that coin." She went over to the back and brought back a plastic bag. Inside was a beautiful 2002 American Silver Eagle. I looked at it and told her,"I've only seen these online."

She smiled and said,"It's yours." I reached for my wallet and took out the money, but she said,"Just have it."

After a few minutes of offering her the money for it, I finally said,"Thank you." I said that a few more times before leaving the bank (I bought a couple rolls of pennies), and she kept telling me,"You're welcome."

That is a long story about me getting my first ASE - and I love the design on the coin. Now I want to get the rest of the ASEs from 1986 to present.

I plan on opening an account at Woodforest. They are really nice to me and recognize me when I walk up. I'm friends with most of the tellers, and they like to hear about coins and dollar bills.
