Yesterday I was going through some customer wrapped pennies and I found a nice 1957-d roosevelt :D That is a first for me of getting silver in a copper search. I am just amazed that with the price of silver up so high that someone would first miss the silver dime and then put it into a penny roll. Made my night.

Last night, I poured out a CWR roll of pennies, and there it was, a war nickel somehow wedged in there along with the pennies and an old mexican something centavos silver!
I was really excited because it was not only silver but now I could be part of the exclusive Realcent silver-in-copper club.

Then I woke up. Dang it! Seriously, this actually happened in my dream last night.

Conga rats on your find. I've found one myself, but it was in a box of bank rolled. Yours is even scarcer because you would think someone would have noticed while rolling it. Maybe someone enlisted the help of their child for the unsavory task of rolling?
