I forgot I found a 1905-O Barber dime in a Coinstar machine. I don't know if you consider that "circulation" but I do as it was found in the wild.

One lucky visit, I'd say. Silver rarely circulates in Louisiana, from what I've seen. I think I've found four silver coins in circulation in total after 6 years of looking through change.

I'm pretty happy when I do find something, though.

I got 8 or 9 silver dimes in one single night. They come in spurts. You'll find several in just a few days then none for a couple of months.
