I was given a 1946-D Washington quarter in the Fine to VF range at a nearby conveninece store. To say this was a shock when silver is pushing $35 an ounce is a serious understatement.

Really lucky! I would be back testing him out to see if he has any more. I got a few 50's nickles in change a few years ago and I went back and ask the cashier to change a dollar into nickles and dimes. She said Oh your lucky someone paid with a roll of nickels. I was only able to get 11 more out of all her nickels but they were all silver and in good shape. Never know!

I found a 1959 silver quarter, 3 silver dimes, and 3 War Nickels in change over the past month. Out here in the country, you can find amazing things in change!

There is definitely silver being set free by unknowing individuals (thank you whoever you are). I just stopped by the bank in Walmart on Wednesday to see if they had any half dollars. I'm working on a circulated Kennedy dansco album. The teller only had five in her drawer and I said yes I'll take them. A good score for me as two were hole fillers and two were upgrades. One hole filler was 1964-D. I now have one 90% and 3 40% from my favorite teller's drawer.
