[QUOTE="Stripeythecrab, post: 1614213, member: 43176"]A while ago, I sold a majority of my small collection of world coins so I could focus on US issues. They were nothing special, just an accumulation of things I had picked up casually.

I set them aside and forgot about them.:rollling: Now, today I decided to pick them up and take a look in the Red Book, and sure enough, they were in there. And to my delight, one of them was silver!:D This one is a 1945D 20 centavo piece that's 75% silver! It's not much, but it has 0.0965 oz ASW, which is more than a dime. Totally made my night! Here's a photo. (Sorry for the poor scans...) [ATTACH]228551.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]228552.vB[/ATTACH] And in case you were wondering, the other coin was a 1944S One Centavo - just some copper.[/QUOTE]
