<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 147568, member: 112"]When I first started collecting you could find almost any silver coin in circulation, some a lot less often than others. I had a couple dozen Morgans from circulation but oddly never did find a Peace dollar. Morgans were at the bank for the asking. Standing Liberty quarters were another - think I only ever ran across one of them. Barbers every now n then. For halves, Walkers and Frankies. Rarely saw the Kenndy halves unless ya went to the bank, everybody hoarded them. Indian cents only once in a while - never a large cent of course. And never a 3 cent or 2 cent - not ever. With nickels there were Liberties, Buffs and of course Jeffs. Never found a dime older than a Barber.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
