Please post when you find silver in change! I like to read about it, even if it is uncommon now.JP said:I haven't found one in years either until I went to the bank a few months ago and got a roll of quarters to feed the meters at the beach. There wasn't just one in there, I ended up with two.
I got a 1964 dime at McDonald's not too long ago.
A 40% silver Kennedy half two weeks ago at the 7-Eleven. The lady in front of me used that and a few others to buy gas. The others were from the 80's and 90's. So at least I got one out of there.
My grandmother back in the 1980's had a client that would come in and pay her always with silver coins. The lady said that her husband had passed away and she didn't want to see all that change anymore. She said there were jars full of it. My grandfather tried to get her to bring it all in so he could buy it. Sad story is she came back a few more times, always paid in silver, and then they never saw her again (she passed away).
