Pre 1900's silver and some early 1900's silver dug out of Los Angeles cash register
I can't believe it but I found my first silver coins finally!
So I found my first silver coins today. Went to an orchards hardware store and saw some unusual looking coins in the register so I asked the cashier lady if I could get the large coins as change. She happily obliged and told me "these are useless. Idk who wants metal money anymore." I always take anything people have in their register bigger than a quarter because I have heard of people being lucky in the past.
So I took my change and items I purchased and went out to the car...
Looked at the coins and holy crap. I actually made a profit in my purchase........
I got 3 silver half dollars, 1912, 1917, and 1939
And an 1896 silver dollar in what looks to be unbelievable shape.............


I am very happy with my find.
Are these coins worth anything? I'm probably going to wind up keeping them unless they are very valuable.
