I've got 5 old 1800s silver dollars that may have come from there. They had been imbedded in the bar at the Silver Dollar saloon outside of Denver. The guy my dad got them from went way into hock and bought all the women's dresses and yard goods he could right after Pearl Harbor, when the price controls were enacted he opened a store. Since he hadn't been in business when they were enacted he had no price caps. Made a bundle. He moved to Denver and opened a pricey women's store just as Denver hit a growth spurt in the late 50s.
