Not a bad 40 % silver find in a roll tonight.

I do find it amazing that 60's silver is still anywhere in circulation at all in any given condition. I on occasion will still get a silver dime or a silver quarter. Worn but still silver.

Yes It is not very common a find. I think the last generation of old time collectors are leaving there circulation finds to there family's and many are not interested in coin collecting. I live in a big retirement area so I find a lot of older change at the banks. This last roll was full of VF and F Bicentennial half's. I think this coin was most likely in a draw somewhere. It is AU and has mostly what I call tray scratches from normal handling on the fields on either side of the bust. The reverse is a close to MS in the fields due to all the raised devices.

I also sometimes go through rolls of half dollars, mostly looking for transitional off-metal errors, and very rarely find any silvers.  I assume you also look at the edges first stacked to see if anything stands out..

Yes I always look there first. That is why the Greek coin stood out so much
