silver coins in circulation

I've had pretty good luck with war nickels in circulation. Don't roll search much though.

Those and silver war nickels. I guess the general public doesn't even know any nickels are silver lol.
And a couple weeks ago the bank sent us shrink-wrapped dimes to the store. Didn't even have to open the roll. Just looked at the sides. OUt of the five rolls we got I got 1 silver Rosie ('64).

Yes, but if you open them up some of the clads are getting hard to find, like the 71 P.

 

i always like when the change delivery comes to our store and it's the plastic wrapped rolls, i always find a few spare minutes to look at the rolls for silver

 

drove to 4 banks today and i received a total of 3 half dollars. lol none were silver. Luckly i have a friend whose great aunt left a few coffee cans of old coins to him. I get to go search them tommorow and said that i would buy any good ones from him. I am once again excited. I also got some uncirculated james monroe dollar coins from a teller at the bank today

 

Well perhaps I am just lucky, but I have just recently got turned on to coin collecting, particularly silver coins. In the last 4 months (roughly) I've pulled 2 Washington quarters out of rolls I bought for laundry purposes (the only reason I ever buy rolls, I'm a poor 25 year old.) One was a 61-D the other a 64-D. 64 is in great shape. Not a single dime or war nickel.

 

That is pretty cool. The only silver I found roll searching all this past year was a 1948 dime. lol Just cannot seem to find silver anywhere here in Vegas. Must be a lot of silver searchers here ? Go figure.

So i got back from my friends this morning with a large smile on my face. He had 7 walking liberties, 8 franklins, 4 40% halves, atleast 4 dollars in dimes, 3 dollars in quarters.

 

I found a 1964 Canada dime last week. I think it is 80% silver so I will keep it. It has been years since I have found a quarter. I doubt I ever will again.

 

Just keep turning over that change! your bound to find something worth while eventually
Good luck

 

Just found a 1964 quarter while waiting for this site to boot up. My wife keeps coins that she runs across that I might be interested in. She gave them to me this morning. 2 wheaties, 3 older 1940's Canadian pennies and one 1964 quarter. Not bad for 5 minutes of looking.

 

That's the absolute truth ! Keep searching and eventually you will find SOMETHING.

I found a 1966 Canadian dime today (silver).

 

Pay day tomorrow. I'll be snagging a roll of quarters for laundry, and maybe an extra one just to up my chances and have more laundry money. Wish me luck!

Also, I still have not found ANYTHING silver in a till or in handed-back change. So far, it has all come from rolls. Some of you guys are really lucky!

 

man, you sure do have some luck. And by the way, does anyone know the st year that there was silver in canadian coinage?

Still find the occasional silver dime in change, and my dad pulled a '58 quarter, a couple silver dimes, and a few wheats out of the coffee money at work. Halves are hard to come by, and it seems that about a third of them are 1976-D's.

 

silver i bought a bunch of silver the other day for 70.00 and

it cost me 70.00 a 1951 silver dolar, a 57 and 61 as well a bunch of older newfoundland coins total weight was 280 grams round about. i think it was a decent buy for that much money all coins were in pretty great shape so over 200 grams of silver:yes:

 

you are so lucky in the states (and canada) since decimalisation the earliest coins we find in our change or at the banks are 1968, oh for the days of the chance to fine a williamIV penny in my change.

 

Went to a coin shop today to get some air tights to put some Morgans in. Got a 40% Kennedy half for change. I'm not sure many look to see what their half's are, I'm defiantly going to start getting rolls of half's and search through them. I think most believe that if it is a clad coin it hasn't got any silver in it, well outside of us that is.

 

You might want to look in the thread called "Roll searchers post your results", lol. Seems that halves are what most are going for. Teller trays are the source of my biggest half scores so don't pass those up. Good luck!
