<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 1804723, member: 53226"]I actually found the dime in a Coinstar machine, but that's close enough to circulation. The V nickel was in the till at work. As far as one generation back, I've never found an Indian head penny, a buffalo nickel, a Mercury dime, a Standing Liberty quarter (I am convinced there are under 100 of these in circulation in the entire country if there are that many) or a peace dollar, but I have found three Franklin halves from '52 and '53 (2 from the first customer; the other customer had two JFKs and a Franklin, and I bought all three halves (The Kennedy halves were post 1970 so no sllver.)) I would have thought that I would have found a Buffalo nickel before i found a V nickel or a Mercury dime before I found a Barber dime but it didn't work out that way. Finding coins this way is very unpredictable. I could end up with a 1950 quarter and a handful of wheats or I could end up with nothing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
