Yesterday, I got a 1943 35% silver nickel in change! It was from the soda vending machine at work.
It's worth $2.05 in current melt value. That's more than the last time I found one! There probably also is some numismatic value, but the coin is pretty worn and 1943 is pretty common.
I find a couple of pieces of junk silver per year in change. I can tell easily, based on the tarnish color of the silver. It's like winning a slot machine, when I get junk silver in change.
