In 1964, My Grandma and my Aunt Mary flew to California to visit their Cousin. While there they took a day-trip to Lake Tahoe and Reno. In those days they mostly just had 'Dollar Slot Machines'. My Aunt was born in 1887 so she thought that this Morgan Silver dollar was way cool. I've had these every since they came back from that trip. Several On-Line coin sites say they are worth anywhere from 55-80 Bucks apiece. The black around the edges are because they are .900 real silver ( 24.057 grams), they'll polish out just fine if I'm so inclined.
Of course...I'll NEVER sell them...hehehehe
Peace...!!!
not even for 55 dollars...smiles. nice how that worked its way in there. really cool coins...would definitely be holding onto them...
ReplyDeleteWell, the memory and the tales are enough reason to keep them! Check out the cool tale by Sherry at Awakening through love HERE

Being born and raised in Carson City my family had a lot of them. My grandparents especially. Have you ever seen the Silver Dollar Queen up in Virginia City? She's made of thousands of 'em :)
ReplyDeletethey look like they are in fantastic shape!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't sell them, either.
ReplyDeleteNor would I .. the sentimental value is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI would never sell something like this if I had them in my possession too...
ReplyDeleteNow that you have added your two dollars worth...I have nothing left to say.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine what your aunt saw in her lifetime! I'd also keep them coins... :)
ReplyDeletethose are really nice -- the memories they could tell, but could they say it in 55 words???
ReplyDeletelol
those are awesome, i have my mother and fathers complete set of coins from the years they were born, 1945 and 1936, the penney right on up to the silver dollar. it is pretty neat stuff, kind of like my new mac i am working on!!!
ReplyDeleteCool! As exciting as it is when you hit a jackpot with nickels, it must have been something else with silver dollars!

Don't polish them, they are worth more the way they are!
ReplyDeleteWish all I needed was a polishing to look better.
ReplyDeleteMemories...priceless.

Amazing history, I wonder whose hands they have bene through...and what was ever bought with those coins, secret history of the life of a coin.
ReplyDeleteSome things are worth holding on to.
