<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Animosity, post: 1190420, member: 30060&quot;]Personally, I usually go through pennies and nickels for my dansco albums. I typically find about 2 war nickels per $100 of nickels. War nickels are 35% silver, they&#039;re 1942-1945, the government needed the nickel for military supplies, so instead of using nickel, they used silver. you can tell them by looking on the back and the mint mark (P, D, S) is on the reverse above building. Not all 1942 nickels are 35% silver though! All silver nickels have the huge mint mark on the reverse. With pennies you can find wheat cents, double dies, or AM varieties (92(very rare), 92-D close am or 96, 98, 99, 00 wide am) Here is a website to help you identify wide/close AM varieties <a href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, I go through cents and nickels because I&#039;m working on a dansco album for each of them, the war nickels are an added bonus on top of that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dimes and quarters, anything pre-1964 is pretty much the only things to pull out of those since they are 90% silver, you may have came across this site before, but to see the current prices US silver coins at <a href="http://coinflation.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coinflation.com/" rel="nofollow">http://coinflation.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re lucky, you can find silver in half dollars, I haven&#039;t been too lucky with that, I&#039;ve only found one 40% half in about $1300 worth, but I&#039;ve seen some people have a ton of luck on here with them. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The coolest thing I&#039;ve found while roll searching (I&#039;m still pretty new though!) is a 1999 wide am, which is out being certified right now. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully something in there helped! If not, I&#039;m sure other members will chime in later![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
