<p>[QUOTE=&quot;millwrightwife, post: 964558, member: 26827&quot;]Hello, I have been coming to this site on and off for about a month or so now.&nbsp; My husband and I have just recently taken an interest in collecting coins.&nbsp; This was due to discovering a 1963 silver dime in our change at the time.&nbsp; Since then we have found a 1953 nickel and a 1957 quarter.&nbsp; All given in change over the past two weeks.&nbsp; So, whenever I want to learn, I have found this site to be very helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was reading up on a post by Vulturi <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t112590/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t112590/">http://www.cointalk.com/t112590/</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems that he never posted again after getting everyone&#039;s hopes up.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Today, when I was handed change I was immediately excited.&nbsp; I heard a silver coin jingling in the mix.&nbsp; I got home and started looking at the dates of the coins.&nbsp; I know that 1965 was the beginning of the non silver coinage.&nbsp; But, that distinct sound was coming from a 1965 quarter.&nbsp; I can see the copper on the side of the coin.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, here is the question...Why does my 1965 quarter sound the same as my 1957 silver quarter?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thank you in advance for all your help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
