We are on vacation in Florida, didn't hit any banks, but did stop in a coin shop. Got some nice stuff for ok pri es, but thought you all would like this story:
They had a jar full of foreign coins, and my daughter asked if we should look thru them. I said, the only thing I'd look for in there is silver. The lady at the counter said they get all the silver before they put them out...
Anyways, I asked how much, and they wanted fifty cents a coin. Just for fun, I looked at them, and right on top was a Canadian dime with the young queen! 1964. So much for the shop's silver finding skills. Went thru the whole thing next and found another silver dime and a quarter plus a 1930 Canadian nickle in at least XF.
Not bad for two bucks. Look everywhere. It's still out there.
Also got two 1859 Indians in G/VG for a buck each and an AU 1883 NC V nic for seventy five cents. Gotta love dealer junk trays.
