[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 1353597, member: 13650"]I wouldn't expect much. If this was a great thing to do, far more people would be doing it. Most of the silver disappeared in the 60s. Generations before you have had the same idea for decades. Magnified anytime silver goes up. I really think you almost have to get lucky and hope somebody cashed in an old coin collection in the area. Because I highly doubt there could be many originals left in circulation at this point. Not to mention decade after decade of new coins that have been added to the pile. Literally billions worth. Every year that goes by they get more diluted meaning you will have to waste more time to 'maybe' find that one silver dime. If people divided the profits they've made by the hours and effort involved searching, it wouldn't be pretty in most cases. Not to mention dealing with grumpy bank tellers that don't want to deal with it. That isn't making the bank any money. Many banks have a fee now for cashing change back in if you don't have an account with them. For what you're likely to find, it will be far, far, easier to simply buy the equivalent and enjoy the rest of the day.[/QUOTE]
