I have a question. What do you guys mean by silver coins? Are you saying there's actually silver coins in US circulation? What are they? Could they be some of the 50 cent pieces?





any US silver coin prior to 1964 other than nickels are 90% silver




ANY one? Like a 1963 quarter? Wow, I had some set aside because I thought they were rare...

any of them other than the nickels, a quick way to tell the difference is by
the sound they make when dropped into other change, they have a higher pitch
than the copper clad coins we see most of today

another way is to look at the grooved edge of the quarter/dime.  The copper ones can usually be distinguished because their grooved edge will be two-toned:  half copper half silver.  The pre-64 ones will be SOLID silver.  easily distinguishable unless the coin is ungodly dirty.

The only exception is the war nickles from 42-45 are 35% silver

IIRC this only applies to the dimes and quarters as you mention, the 40% silver half dollars and dollars are also copper clad so you would have to see the dates. Don't recall the exact dates but they made those for a while after 64.

Also was the coin on the right magnetically shrunk? Looks fucked up.

I found a 1983 P quarter. Looking online it's one of the rarest "modern" coins. Supposedly it's worth anywhere from 20 to 100$ (that would be certified). My question is where can I sell it? How much does it cost to get it certified? If it would make the value more, I'd do it.

This seems to be the most well known grading place for the US. I'm thinking it would not end up being worth it considering how much they charge.
http://www.pcgs.com/servicesandfees/

Just selling it on ebay without the grading but some really good photos might be the best way to go. What kind of shape is it in? If it looks like a coin that's been jingling around in pockets for 30 years, it will probably be on the low end of the value scale. If it looks really pristine then it should fetch more.

That's awesome!

When I'm on register at my job I'm always looking through the coins and banknotes to see if I find anything interesting.

I found a dirty old Buffalo nickel in grocery store change recently!  It made my day  :smile:

My cousins in New Jersey run an ice cream shop and they're always looking out for old silver. It sounds different when it drops onto other modern coins in the cash drawer.
