Rare coins in pocket change!
Ever get a wheat penny in change from a purchase at a store? It is not uncommon.
I quite frequently find them in the ''Give a Penny, Take a Penny'' pot at the
cash register in convenient stores. I've even found silver dimes and silver
quarters in my pocket at the end of a day of shopping.
You can go to any bank and get rolls of coins for face value, then search them
for any old coins. Rolls of pennies often turn up many wheat cents and the
occasional indian cent or war token. Rolls of nickels sometimes have 'silver
war' dates and the occasional buffalo. I've even found Liberty 'V' nickels
searching rolls of nickels. In rolls of dimes, quarters, and half-dollars you
can find 90% silver coins. Even if they are barely distinguishable, they are
still worth much more than face value for their silver content.
If you get to know your local bankers, you may even have them look for you.
