A "FIRST" FOR ME, W/PIX..rileyboy

[rileyboy]

Too hot today to smoke my cigar on the deck or go to the Doggie Park, so I took my dog "Riley" for a ride so he could get out and I could enjoy my cigar in the air conditioning of my SUV. Stopped at a few banks and didn't find anything, but kept going for a little while and finally came across a "FIRST" for me. The teller didn't have any halves, but I always ask if they have any "large dollars". Low and behold she pulled out three. Two were clad Ike's" but the third was a 1991 Silver Eagle. She said a store had brought them in with a deposit. I've gotten some Morgans and Peace Dollars from trays, but never a Silver Eagle. It's out there! Just keep hunting. Enjoy the pix. All the best to everyone.

[Dok Holliday]

Good find for a good guy.

 

[crhstreetwalker]

How in the world do these end up in circulation? It's beyond me.

 

[rileyboy]

To jnb1994....Yup, I got it for face value ($1.00). and to The Mastermind.....I agree with you regarding the tone. It does look nice. Makes it a little more interesting. BTW, there are no dings or scratches. Should grade nicely. Thanks for all your comments everyone. HH

rileyboy, if you're thinking of sending it out to be graded, let me say this... it's not meant to be rude or anything, but... , it's not worth your time, effort, or money to get it graded, though it is a silver eagle, it is only worth silver value(or face value to some, HA). don't want to rain on your parade, just trying to save you some time effort and especially $$$! hope you find more in the near future!

That beyond baffles me... How in the world could both the depositor and teller not realize that a coin that says right in plain sight "one ounce pure silver" is worth more than a dollar. I mean really?! Does anyone have any idea that silver is actually worth more than a dollar? It was worth more than a dollar back when they were making coins out of silver! Ugh! This angers me! I mean it is more than great for you, I would flip out if I got a coin like that at the bank, for a dollar no less... But I mean really! Is america really that stupid? Sure it's one thing if a teller doesn't know about a 40% half, or another 90% coin, or even a morgan dollar being silver... But this one says it... Just my little rant lol, don't mind me

Hi Buffaloboy,
Thanks for your comment. One of my good friends is a coin dealer and very knowledgeable on grading coins. He will let me know what he thinks the grade is for no charge. I just need to stop by and show it to him. Thanks again for your kind advice.

Congrats! Love Silver Eagles!

Congratulation on your first large wild lady. The fact that she's been around makes her a little more attractive than those that have never been touched.

nice score, that's a rare one to pull from the wild.
