I've stepped up my checking coins as well. Each time my wife sees me going through coins she says what are we going to do with all those coins?
I am intersted in the 1/2 dollars probably the most.
Are you looking more for dates or the pre 65 silver coins? I tend to look more for the silver coins.

I am definitely looking for silver, as well as dates depending on the coin. I usually have a sticky note with a list of key dates nearby when picking.
So for nickels, I could only find three dates worth mentioning beyond the 1960s. So I replace all nickels I find before 1960, and I replace 1990 D, 2005 buffalo, 2009. Based on what I jotted down on my note, some 1990 nickels are missing their designers initials, some 2005 buffalo nickels have a minting error resembling a speared buffalo, and then 2009 has an insanely low mintage. After further reviewing those and seeing no success in my finds, I will put them back into my coin swap rotation.
It has been interesting asking the tellers what they have in their junk drawers. It will be hard to lay claim to the coins though
