Went to the bank to pick up a box of lincolns, got the Canadian currency teller...glanced over at her tray and Bingo! 5 silver .10's! 55,60,63 and 2 64's! Cost me 2 U.S. Quarters. I haven't seen silver in a very long time so I had to post! Yes I'm happy!

P.S. I live in the U.S. 200 miles south of the border.

This is not right. They're getting our silver and all we're getting back are their pennies.

Rest in Peace

Glad the coins have found a good home.

Not so, ... we also get back their nickels, dimes and quarters...

I don't know about that SHAFTA9a. In my admittedly limited experience of the past few weeks, I'd say around 10% of the pennies in Canada are American. Other American coins are less than .005%, and silver American coins are as rare as our own so as to be pretty much non-existent.

4 67 .25's this AM! WOW! I think I have a new "favorite" teller! It's got me sidetracked from my normal cent hunt...haven't been this excited for awhile!

Wow. That is a heck of an ROI on 50 cents.
