Getting to be a very long shot now.
Nearly 60 years since silver was issued into circulation.

Found a 1963 and a 1956 quarter while searching thousands of coins from vending machines in the past month.
Excellent!

Couple of years back a 1961-D quarter left at a car wash near the coin acceptor. Apparently it wouldn't go through so the person just left it there.

LOL.

Always looking for a 1965 silver dime to go with my 1965 silver quarter. Both were transitional errors, for those not aware of their existence.

I know I will never find one, but it's fun watching pocket change anyway.

LOL.

I'm oh for 2024 so far. Haven't found any in a handful of half dollar boxes either.

DoubleEagle20: That must have been what "The Great American Coin Hunt" was all about with the W Quarters!

About ten years ago or so, I found a 1957 Roosevelt dime in my change back from the store. That was quite unexpected.
About twenty years ago, my Dad got a Mercury dime in change. I can't remember what year or mint mark it was, but I still have it.
When my Mom used to work at Speedway when I was a kid, she used to occasionally get a Franklin half or Walking Liberty half dollar.

..Beyond that, basically never. Lol. About two months ago, I did find a 1942 - P War Nickel that was really worn.

That certainly is! Silver finds in change are few and far between now.

A sentimental keeper!

That would be a fond memory. As I said way back, I used to find them from rolls—but that was thirty years ago.
