My trip into the attic today.

So, I went to my attic looking for something(never found it and it seems a 10 hour investment of time would be required...some other time)...anyway, I found a bunch of junk foreign coins from when I was a kid. I decided to pull the stuff down to see if there was any silver in the mix. There is stuff in there from 1877 to 1985 or so. A bunch of crap really. One coin stood out...and it was NOT foreign.....
1877 DIME! AG-3/G-4 Details with a few bad scratches....one thin dime.
I wish there was an easy way to way to tell if stuff had silver in it. I pulled out all of the brown coins. I ran a magnet over all of the rest....that sucked up another 20 coins or so...next is to pull out the obvious aluminum ones...then I will have to look up each coin 1 by 1 on the internet to find out the composition of the rest...UGH! There are about 100 coins to go through. Good times.
