Today was a lucky day for me! I stopped at the gas station and I was talking to the clerk as I hadn't seen him for awhile. It was shift change and the gal that was leaving was complaining about what to do with the "weird" dollar coin she had in the drawer that was apparently complicating her daily balance sheet. I asked her what it was and she handed me an 1898 S Morgan dollar. I asked her what she planned to do with it in which she replied "I don't know! I don't want it in my drawer I wanna go home!" So I did the logical thing...offered a dollar in exchange with the promise that her problem was now solved. She agreed not wanting it anyway knowing it was an old coin worth more than face value. I asked her how she got it and she said a customer came in and added it to his regular money to buy some gas. And yes, with this kind of luck today, I bought a Lotto ticket for the 24 million jackpot drawing.
