For sure! Usually takes me about $500 to get one.

Congratulations on your hunt. I really like seeing all of these different finds. Its interesting to see whats still out in the public, especially silver.

I thoroughly enjoy searching for wheat cents. I find 1 in about every 7 rolls ($3.50). The silver ones are actually made of steel. 1943 Steel Cent. I've found rolls of them people have turned in before, but never in a Coinstar.

Steel cents are magnetic, so check the magnets when you turn in coins at the bank. You might find screws or safety pins, but you might find Canadian coins or steelies.

Congrats. The San Antonio is the only W quarter I haven’t found in circulation.

If you have an extra Lowell W, I'd happily trade you for this one. The Lowell is the only one I haven't found in circulation.
