Look what My wife found

[patrickray]

We were shore fishing this morning. We wernt getting squat so my wife dose her thing sifting through the rocks looking for reusable lures, sinkers, etc... Then she screams I thought she found a snake (she hates them things) But found a silver dollar.

I dont know what this thing is worth, but is got to be worth something.

Anyone have any ideas?

I like having it too. Its older than me. But then again, $15.00 for 1 $1.00 seems like a good deal? Its just a good find. Kinda like catching the big one.

It's not so rare that you will retire on it..... but, the memory of the day your wife found a silver dollar in the rocks will last a lifetime!

Tell you what I can do. My friend is an expert at grading coins. Send them to me (I got a post office drop box) and I will get him to check them out for you free. Maybe offer you a price. If not I will just mail them back if you pay the postage.

lol
but you'll need to cash a $34,000 check to cover the shipping and send him the difference.

It would take about $19.55 to buy what that dollar would buy in 1920.

You never know until you get a reputable dealer to look at it.

There are some coins that have extra strike marks or are missing some mint mark etc.

Cool find !

Re: Look what My wife found

I have been watching ebay. Some go for $$$ and some for .99. Im thinking about having it looked at. But, whats that going to cost?
Im going to rent a metal detector this weekend and go back to check it out. You never know.

In my youth I was a numismatist ,er, a coin collector. I still have that collection in an old metal tackle box. Wheat pennies, Indian head pennies, buffalo nickles, liberty dimes, Morgan Silver dollars, real silver quarters and half dollars, etc.

I'll have to scrounge around the house to locate my "treasure" and revisit some old memories.

Thanks for your post.
