I have a former coworker who's almost 70 and lives down in Florida who said that he had 2 rolls of wheat cents for me. I had asked him if he would give me any coins he doesn't have; he told me that he used to have lots of them, but when he checked their prices online, most were only like 10 cents at most, so he put most back in circulation. Well a few days later, the wheat pennies arrved in a package as he promised. But what appears to be an added bonus, he sent me some silver too! Here's a list of what he sent:
Wheat cents: (113 total)

1962 D
1964 (x6) 4 were D's, 2 were P's
He also sent me a 1936
Buffalo nickel and a 1947
Jefferson nickel; the latter appears to have been mixed in by mistake. I can't complain since 1) it's legal tender, 2) I don't find many old nickels in circulation so a 1947 is cool, and 3) it's still worth more for metal than for the face value.
In addition, here's the other silver I already own:
1904 quarter (bought at a coin shop)
1925 quarter (bought at a coin shop. The date is still readable, but the word "trust" is fading somewhat)
1940 quarter (D) (found in circulation)
1956 quarter (D) (found in circulation)
1903 dime (bought at a coin shop)
1945 dime (bought at a coin shop)
1948 dime (found in my cousin's piggy bank)
1951 dime (found in circulation)
1957 dime (found in circulation)
1961 dime (found in circulation)
1963 dime (found in circulation)
1964 dime (found in circulation)
