Not sure where this belongs since it wasn't a roll find. Today I had to stop at the Lucky Supermarket after work and used the automated checkout machine in change I received a 1943 P War Nickel ! Which caused me to let out an immediate WOW!! much to the surprise of the other customers who wondered what the crazy guy ahead of them had found

You don't find silver in circulation much any more. I bet that made your day.

Funny enough, my first ever silver find was also a 43P silver nickel.

Finding silver in circulation always is nice.

Even funnier, that was my first and only silver find in circulation also. Found it in my brothers coin jar he let's me go through every once in a while.

Congrats!
I wish I could find silver coins in circulation, however Korea's last circulating silver coin was minted decades and decades ago, and they've been demonetized and pulled from circulation.

Nice find. War Nickels are the only silver I've ever encountered in circulation.

Cool find. My first War Nickel a 43 P this weekend too. Along with a 1937 D Buffalo in XF, a dateless buffalo, and three AU 2009 P. Went through about $100 in rolls in my first nickel box from the bank.
I think nickels might be more fun than cents!
