American Savings Dollars

Morgan and Peace dollars housed in red stock cardboard and plastic holders from American Savings and Loan Bank in the 1960s were gifted to new customers opening accounts. The holders are fragile and often broken or cracked. But the cardboard and cracks sometimes create wonderful toning, especially in Peace Dollars, which notoriously are difficult to get in rainbow hues.

I won these at auction on eBay and will send them to PCGS for holdering. We’ll see what grades they earn.
