76 Year Old Silver Found in Circulation

  1. After volunteering to clean up at a old, trashed house for an opportunity of finding something, I found my first silver coin in circulation. I did not know what to do with it because I was expecting wheat cents, so I put it in a flap. Pictures of dime:

    About two months later, I received a gift of a small basket of coins that will not seem to go past 2010. A minute ago, I cherry-picked all the copper pennies with foreign coins and some games tokens, but I was not expecting this find.

    As you can see, I still have two-thirds to search through.

    Nice finds. I haven't found a merc in the wild in quite some time. I did pull a 1939P quarter from a box yesterday.

    go to coin star, the reject slot. you could find a silver dimes because they reject them. You can find lots of other stuff there also. Good hunting.

    Nice. I hope I'm still circulating after 76 years.
