They have better luck than me! Found my third find last night. 1990 25C Canada. Ill post pictures in a while.

Sorry. It got stuck in the quote lol.

 

Haaa!! I must have mis read something. Thanks for letting me know though I appreciate correctness

 

Up to 1935 they were silver. You just missed out a by a couple years lol.

 

It's alright I got plenty of silver to go around haha. Just wish i would find a silver foreign other than Canada silver haha

 

I was at a local bank and stuck my hand into the reject bin of the generic coin machine. I pulled out a handful of coins, including a bunch of plain old modern coins and the following:

1953-D dime
1936 penny
1976 Canada quarter
1993 Philippines 1 peso
2008 Trinidad and Tobago 25 cent
1988 Australia 10 cent
1993 South Korea 100 won

The silver and the wheat were especially satisfying finds.

 

Always love a wheat penny and silver haha

 

One day a few months ago I found a 1964 dime in a Coinstar machine. The very next day I went to the same machine and there was a 1959 dime. Free silver is the best kind.

 

They sure made a heck of a lot of coin that year lol. Would be nice to find a silver with an S mint mark on it.

 

Not saying it couldn't be plated, but I don't see any of that "wavey" or uneven look to it. Is there any non-destructive test for plating? I just threw it on the scale and it weighs in at 2.74g

 

I found a silver quarter with an "S" on it. A 40% silver quarter, no less. It was a bicentennial business strike NIFC quarter that I found at my old job.

 

That's a good question. Honestly short of sending it to an NDT lab I have no idea. The weight is within planchet tolerances but how much will a couple mills over the surface of a cent weight and what material was used?
I'm sure it's not outside the realm of possibility to remove enough surface material from a certain area of this coin undetectable by the trained eyes of a TPG. Take that and a standard steelie sample to test with a spectrometer and compare.
If it would land in MS66 or higher it may be worth looking into.

 

It's probably destined for a flip for the time being. Maybe next time I know I'm going past my LCS I'll take it along and get his opinion as a place to start. Of course he's older than dirt and only opens when he doesn't have anything better to do so it may remain a mystery for a while yet, unfortunately.
