Just wondering if anyone has ever pulled one of the big 3 classic silver commemoratives from the wild - Hawaiian, Hudson, or Old Spanish Trail? Those would be awesome finds! Also, which classics have you all found? I've never found an old silver commem - definitely on my bucket list! If you have, please report & post a pic!

I have found 3 this month in boxes. 1893 Columbian Exposition, 1946 Booker T Washington & 1986 Statue Of Liberty (clad). I also found a 1982 200th Anniversary of the birth of George Washington last year from a teller try.

There was someone who pulled an OST commem about 2 years ago. It turned out to counterfeit. I've never seen a Hawaii or Hudson reported found in the wild here on TNet. I've found numerous commems over my years. Mostly the common ones that you've seen before, but my most unusual has to be a Huegenot.

I found a 1925 Stone Mountain commemorative once, and also a late 40s Booker T. Washington commemorative.

So yes....you can find them in the wild. Along with magicians coins, British pennies (large cents), etc.

Coin Roll Hunting is like a box of chocolates.....:D
