I'd say pretty hard to beat I would rather have found the Half Dime but, that FEC is up there too! I can't find it but, didn't a member find a $10 gold eagle in a Coinstar? I found this about a guy finding a 1/10 oz. eagle: http://goccf.com/t/242908In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

3 obsolete coins now found very recently... y'all are getting my hopes up!  I had hit a very dry streak the past couple of weeks... and then today I go to one of my local supermarkets and see a young (maybe 25-30 YO) oriental woman at the machine dumping coins... as I walk past her, I notice maybe 3 inches behind her on the ground what appeared to me to be a silver dime... sure enough it was a 1964-D... I pick it up and put it in my wallet. I then pull a dime out of my pocket and tell her "I think you dropped this." She thanks me and a few minutes later she's done... She never even checked the reject tray. Three quarters, a dime, 5 zincolns and a foreign (Japanese, I think) coin were in it... and she left a dime in the dump area... So I got $1 AND the silver dime.   CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Found this tonight along with 22 cents in other U.S. change (updated my totals in the previous post to reflect it)... somehow, I missed that it was a proof at first glance.  CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

Good results do far john! I found a 1943 P War Nickel tonight, the first in over a year. I love those ugly old coins. |

Thanks, illegaltender... 25 free silver coins in a year... not bad! Nice find with the 43-P... is it plated by chance? My 1944-S that I found is plated, and weighs more than the standard 5 grams - likely is the reason it got rejected. Most of the time, War Nickels go through since they're the same weight as a regular nickel. CRH Nickeloholic. 1,600,000 nickels searched in eight years! Have found FOUR complete Jefferson sets!

@John77 I'm sure you do but, make sure whether those quarter proofs are clad or silver (could be either). In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I saw the two dimes and excitedly hoped one was silver, so I overlooked the quarter as it looked worn. It wasn't until I got home and pulled it out of my pocket that I realized what I had. I have yet to find a silver proof other than a 1961 Dime I found in a box. I know people have found silver proof Halves... Hoping it is my turn soon!
