<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 69104, member: 3011"]I never had much success searching for silver in rolls other than half dollars, and rolls of halves are hard to come by around here for some reason. But I have some fun filling folders with circulated clad coins to relax. My newest technique is to search antique shops. Many of them have small selections of old silver coins. While on vacation last week, I found a box of pre-1965 Roosevelt dimes listed for $0.35 each. The woman who ran the shop told me she didn't know much about coins. After verifying the dates [all have easily readable dates], I just said I'd take them all without counting. It turned out that there were exactly 100 dimes. So basically I bought 7 ounces of silver for $35 dollars. I haven't searched them yet for any key dates or coins in better than average condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
