I found a silver coin in a PENNY ROLL?

[TheJaker]

Today, while I was coin roll hunting a box of Pennys, I opened a roll that had a, well interesting edge sticking out. When I investigated deeper I found a 6 shillings coin from 1942, Australia, which turned out to be 50% silver! I cant believe the fact I found a silver coin while hunting Pennie’s!

Nice. It happens on great occasion. I have found Indian cents in rolls, but no silvers in the penny rolls.

Many years ago, I got a 1919 Canadian silver 5 cents in a roll of cents.

I found a few silver coins in penny bags where you get odd stuff, but never in a roll.

A couple years ago I got some grandma cwr dime rolls which had several barbers and mercs. I went back to see if there was anything left. The dimes were gone since the tellers must have noticed the goodies or I had gotten them all so I bought several rolls of pennies. The rolls were heavy solid rolls of wheat pennies and each roll had a mercury dime in it. I posted pics back then. I wish I had thought to get quarters. That bank has been terrible since.

Nice find!

I found a silver Hindu token in a box of cents once. It's rare but it happens!
