That's a nice little find.

Good of you to return them to the owner. That was nice of you. The goodness should come back to you.

Were the silver dollars the Morgan type or peace design (eagle or profile of head)? In any event, they are probably worth at least $10 a piece--more for rare dates.

Did you find anything else of interest in that attic?

Nope nothing more of interest. But then again you never know with what people buy now-a-days.

They were all Morgan Dollars with Miss Liberty.

I hope the goodness comes back.

These had come in on a train and had been incorrectly chained. I gues as the train moved, the cars got jolted way past tolerances so the dealer had to scrap em because they were uninsurable. They wouldn't even let us drive them on the yard.

Yeah, I missed the show on that one, but I did get to watch four Mustang SVO's that were damaged in transit (frame damage) shredded at the behest of one of the local Ford dealers. I wanted to cry.

When I was growing up, my Dad and grandfather ran a scrap yard with an auto shredder. We would shred thing for the police impound like guns and cars. One afternoon we shredded a car that had been used in a bank holdup where some of the money was never found. this was before you had to remove the gas tanks prior to shredding and occaisionally you would get a fireball from gas left in the tank. This happened to the getaway car and after the fireball, flaming money rained down on the yard. It was chaos for about 20 minutes until the police officers made it clear that no one could keep the cash.:)

James, apparently the moving company hired to transfer all of the Braves stored paper work and other things did a sloppy job. We found a lot of unshredded docs including Abox of cancelled checks that Hank Aarron had written. In the interest of his security we shredded all of it, but we did find pins, stickers, hats and other souvenirs. I got a neat set of coasters from the Stadium Club for my bar.:)

We found Francisco Cabrera's World Series ring during the Atlanta Fulton County Stadium demo. It was behind a locker row in the players locker room. Apparently he had lost it and another had been made for him.

I found a Ty Cobb baseball card once. I am getting to begin work on a distillery. The executive offices all have the really ornate frosted doors. They will replace my dining room doors. I have got a bunch of really old bottle in their too and a couple hundred boxes of labels.
