[QUOTE="mnmark, post: 72268, member: 4226"]Hi all, So here's my introduction (hello!) and a first question...been hanging out for a few weeks now, and decided this place is pretty sweet. Thanks for the education, both from the past weeks and everything going forward. Anyways, I am *just* getting in to the whole coin collecting & investing thing. Yes, I know many here think those are exlusive. My primary hunt right now is old 90% and 40% silver coins, as well as filling my books with circulated coins. Halfs are currently what I'm looking at. So, I got 10 rolls today from WF, and was horribly disappointed to find nothing before 1971. We'll see what happens next time. The interesting find: There was a 1971 'D' in the lot, and it makes a different noise than the other coins. It is distinctively lower in pitch than other coins, whether you're flicking it, stacking it, dropping it, etc., it sounds really different. What's the verdict? Can it simply be warped somehow (it doesn't look that way), or is there some type of difference in this year? Sorry for the long winded-ness; and thank you for the answers! ~Mark[/QUOTE]
