Oh yes, the clang they make is quite different. And the sides are different. I have gotten exactly TWO in all of my time out of change at the store - and this was back about 10 years ago. I get mine from Ebay or online or at gold/silver/coin stores.
All my scrap silver coins have come from estate auctions. I have hundreds if not thousands of silver coins from auctions. Hey, when they're giving away 10 Morgan's for $120, it's not difficult to stand there and buy every lot. Lol!
Auctions are hit or miss, so you have to attend many of them. Some days people are paying more than retail for used stuff, other days, they're practically giving stuff away. Obviously, I like the latter. Especially when it's mostly women interested in knickknacks, while all the tools, coins and guy stuff is overlooked. Not every buyer can be at every auction.

Wow! I admit I'm jealous, lol.

how do you find good auctions? I've always been interested, but never looked into it.
