It amazes me there is a lot of not particularly special junk silver from the late 50s and early 60s that is basically AU. Before my time but I guess everyone knew in that time frame to start pulling out coins. I dont have much junk silver but most the Washington quarters, franklin halves, and roosevelt times look AU

I have worked retail in the past and got all sorts of stuff that way, silver, wheat pennies, and various unusual old style bills (red ink, blue ink, etc...).

I have also received silver coins as change.
