When's the last time anyone found a silver coin in their change? Got mine today at ShopRite.

I must admit she hid well in my pocket change, but......there was something about her that me take a second look.

I know she ain't much to look at, but she's mine.

Anyone else?

    It's been many, many years since I've found any silver in the wild.
    Nice catch

    It's been about 2 years ago for me- a war nickel. However........

    I did get a BU 1943 steel cent last year at a DQ. Kid didn't even hesitate to give me this back in change...sort of a bittersweet moment- torn between the young mans lack of awareness, and my Dilly Bar I suppose. Oh well, in hindsight I should have asked if he had any more...maybe they broke open an old roll from a bank that had these tucked away? Oh well....

    Sorry for the "steel" intrusion but it's shiny white/grey- worth a bit more than a circulated silver quarter I suppose so maybe it could make the grade for this post?

    Recently bid and won a small cast iron, perhaps pewter church bank with a few coins inside from a local auction. Once I was home, had to shake the coins out as there was no rubber plug or lock and key which reminded me that a church is not a bank meaning one never gets his money back only its value..... But anyway, all the coins were Canadian dated 1961 to 1974 but no silver. And I live in he Midwest but a lot of the auction stuff has been coming from a Wisconsin collector. So...it can be said, it was closer to the border that I am.

    The only silver I have 'found' lately has been in the Coinstar... two dimes, separate times... Those little treasures sure do make one feel good.... Cheers, RickO

    Found a 1950s dime with a die crack in a Coinstar, maybe 5 months ago.

    That is crazy!
    I have NEVER found a SLQ.
    You were in the right place at the right time!

    Got this about 2 months ago in change at McDonalds, buying my $1 McMuffin! Sounded "funny" when they dropped the change in my hand, and lo and behold, the bear was there!
