Cool, I just buy silver in general but the collector in me demands I try and find good condition coins.
Got a few silver German marks and more recently a Japanese silver 50 Sen.
These are my most valuable coins though.

Oohh cool that would be a awesome dime to have. I'm more or less buying silver coins just to buy silver. But the collector in me wants coins in good condition. So I tend to look through the containers of coins at the coin exchange, and pick out ones in good shape when I buy them. XD

Any dime, quarter or half dollar before 1965 should be 90% silver. So keep a eye out.

Oooo I was collecting coins for a while. I still would be if I wasn't in college X_X. I got a near complete collection of Barber quarters... there not in that great of condition but still worth a good amount. One of them is worth a lot though. I've never found any silver coins in my change, I think it's all been cleared out.

Oohh Barbers are nice ones, my primary goal was to just get silver but the coin collector in me couldn't resist being like, "OOHHH A BARBER!" when I was looking through the pile of old coins. XD
In getting change, I only found a 1953 dime so far.

I got lots of wheat pennies, copper, steel and lead. And a couple Indian heads.
The 1971 half dollar is nickle clad, though does the 1971 Silver Dollar have a S mark? If so then it's 80% silver. If not then it's nickle clad as well.

All I see on the 1971 Silvr Dollar is a very small D.

Aggh drat, it's nickle clad with a copper core.

I have like six of those myself, though I hold onto them for sentimental value since they were in my late grandma's safety deposit box.

My mom works as a manager at a McDonalds and someone used 2 of them like they were quarters. So she brought them home and gave one to my sister and I.

A funny story I heard was one of my former co-workers got a Walking Liberty half dollar after a kid payed for something with it, the kid said, "It's made out of the metal they used to make coins with." XD

Reminds me of my grandfathers coins he gave to me dad, lots of silver in there.

Yep lots of old ones, My great grandfather would give my mom and uncles a silver dollar like the Morgan dollars I have, though back then they spent them as fast as they could being the kids that they were. XD

Back then it was just average money, its what you did.

...You... Suck... XD nice little silver collection you've got there man, you ever go to the bank and buy rolls of coins looking for silver? I hear that's pretty good to do, and then just take the coins that aren't silver back.

I used to do that at the Coffee shop, "Hey Hilda let me rummage through your register!"
But hopefully I'll dig this much up with my metal detector this coming Spring. XD

lol I need to start doing it, I've seen people find rolls of mostly silver coins haha, all I've got so far though are a few silver dimes and quarters that I got as change, not much OH and 2 Walking Liberties

Bleh been luckier than I have. Granted I just got this metal detector recently and it's a pretty amateurish one. The best thing I found was a wheat penny, and a toy firetruck made in China.
Going to get a better one which is just $100 more than I payed for my current one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol I used to have a better one, but don't know what happened to it lol a toy firetruck? nice, if I ever get another metal detector, I'm certainly gonna go around town with it, probably find some bullets (Civil War battles)

Oh your lucky, you live in the east coast, alot more to be found there. I live in the Panhandle of Texas. Though I seriously hope to find a Great Depression era "Jar-o-coins" quite a few have been found in this area actually. I have one place in mind just a few blocks from where I live. Just gotta get permission from the landowner first.

I used to live in Washington, so nothing much there haha, and ooh, "Jar-o-coins"? If I ever go to Texas, I might just see if I can find one, I have family out there with a HUGE property.

Oohh nice, know of any old dillapidated houses or barns on it? Or where ones used to be? That's where you want to go.
Most of my reletives live in Oklahoma, lots of stuff like that out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol well... I haven't really looked around, but there are a few old barns XD
Man... we REALLY need to go out and find some of this stuff XD even if it is just a beach to find jewelry that slipped off people haha.
