Hey Sandigger, welcome :clapping: and RounderRick gave you a great list of silvers that we normally can find. Another suggestion is getting a Book called the Red Book, by R.S. Yeoman (published by Whitman). If you've never had one, it will open your eyes to some old coinage you may have never seen before. It also has mintages, composition of coins and some interesting error coins. So enjoy the hobby and hope to see what you are finding!
