[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 3867388, member: 24633"]Welcome to the neighborhood! It was about 7 years ago that silver nearly hit $50/oz. That is when everybody and their great-grandmother started searching rolls for silver. Half dollars were one of the first "targets" because they contained the most silver (.36169 oz. per coin). I started searching half dollar rolls back in the 90's. Unfortunately, for you "late-comers" the well has been pretty much run dry. Even quarter and dime searches are proving less fruitful, and the only nickels that contain any silver are the war nickels, 1942-1945, that have a large mintmark above the dome of Monticello. Yes, it is possible to find rolls that have been wrapped by customers which contain silver coins, but that is extremely rare. Even the tellers are getting smart and buying these rolls for themselves. Don't believe the crap you hear on BoobTube. All most of them care about is their rating. Chris[/QUOTE]
