First Silver Dollar

[ks coyote]

Hunted a ghost town site and found my first silver dollar, a 1878 Morgan. She's has scratches and scraps but to me she's beautiful. Was the only coin I found.

Great find! The coin isn't rare, but its rare to find one. Most of us will still have it on our list when we die. Looks like the 8 tail feathers variety.

She's a beauty.
For being the only coin you found you definitely got a great one.

Congratulations on an awesome find.

Yup , That's a coin most will never find ! I'm just this side of a Banner vote when people find these large classic SILVER dollars !
As an earlier post mentioned - these coins aren't rare (excepting key dates) but they are rarely dug . Excellent find !!!
First year of the series too !

Well, if you are going to find only one coin, you did Great! I would take that every time. Good job.

Hey if you're going to only find one coin on a hunt I would take that one any day!! Nice find!

 

[Old Dude]

She could have a big ole scar across her cheek from your digger, and I would say She was beautiful! My favorite coin

Beautiful Big Morgan! That's a very tough one to find! Congrats

 

[treblehunter]

My mother gave me one a few months before she past unexpectedly. It is by far the biggest one on my wishlist to dig. They are popping out of the ground lately, maybe tomorrow?

Great find! Congrats!

Awesome Find!!! The question is whether finding on large coin is better then finding a whole bunch of smaller ones!!! (I'd go with the big coin)

Well , If I could only find one coin , It would be a 1933 Saint Gaudens $20. dollar gold piece - or a 1913 V nickel , or a class I 1804 dollar.

 

[Doc Arey]

Well if you only can find one...

I like your goals, no point pointing for the low stars (small potatoes). But I might cut back gold coin to say any $20 piece. And probably forget about the 1804....but hey...anything is possible.
