Went through my family's spare coin jar looking for Canadian .999 nickels. Sadly I only found 2. But to my surprise I found 2 silver dimes. (1960 and a 1967 centennial)

I went to a bank the other day and scored an Ike. I am now using it as my pocket piece.

Cent: numerous Wheats, mostly from the 40s and 50s. Oldest was 1925.
Nickels: A couple War Nickels and a dateless Buffalo.
Dimes: About a dozen silver Roosevelts (no Mercs yet). Also a 1949 Canadian silver dime.
Quarters: About a half dozen silver Washingtons, including a 1963 cameo proof.
Halves: 3 40% Kennedys.
Dollars: NIFC Ikes (1973 P,D, and S clad proof), proof Polk and Fillmore dollars, several NIFC Sacs, 1964 Canada silver dollar, and a 1995 ASE.
Paper currency: $1 silver certificates (x2: 1957 and 1957B)

I forgot to mention my paper money finds. I've found 2 or 3 Series 1957 $1 silver certificates and a $5 United States Note with the red seal and serial.

I forgot to mention: I used to work in a truck stop up until about 6 years ago. I once found a "copy" 1861 Confederate Half in the till, and it still resides in my collection.

Oh, and chalk up a fourth 40% Kennedy for me.

Just started getting interested in coins a few months ago. Went through 87 dollars of daily pocket change I'd been throwing in a jar. Found one 1963 Roosevelt dime...

Yipee!

I received a 2001-D North Carolina State Quarter that is an all silver clad (plated) coin very much like your 2001-P NC all silver coin. Have you found anymore information regarding this coin? mine is slightly heavier than the usual but as I don't have an accurate scale I cannot tell you how much heavier. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
