I haven't found silver in the wild for a long time. In my change from Arby's today:

Fully concur - excellent change find and pleased that a knowledgable numismatist finally brought the coin in from the wild.

That's excellent. Did you hear the clink? My last one was over two years ago, and before that, decades.

Love when that happens! There are still millions of silver coins in circulation.
Thanks to our 'booming' economy, more folks are dumping their silver hoards out of necessity.

Nice find!

The silver alone it would be worth about $3.50 (depending on silver prices)*

I work with a couple of young bucks and used this find as a teaching moment. I showed them the drop test to see if they could hear the different "ring". These 20ish guys probably never saw a silver coin. So I gave them a little lesson on US coin history.... I hope it takes.

Proves two things. Silver is still out there and most people don't know what they have. Great score
