<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve63, post: 2385499, member: 76463&quot;]I got back into coin roll hunting about six months ago after many years.&nbsp; Since then I&#039;ve found five silver dimes and four silver war nickels in coin rolls.&nbsp; So far, I&#039;ve found zero silver quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pretty clear that most silver coins that show up in circulation nowadays were just recently re-introduced.&nbsp; They were probably sitting in some jar or piggy bank for decades and were recently put back into circulation by someone who didn&#039;t realize their value.&nbsp; Dimes, nickels and cents are far more likely to be sitting in a place like that for many years.&nbsp; But not nearly as many people would let quarters accumulate somewhere for that long...they are more likely to roll them and exchange for cash or to quickly re-spend them in vending machines, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think that explains why you never see silver quarters in circulation, people just don&#039;t save quarters without spending them like they might with smaller change, so there are less older ones being unwittingly reintroduced to circulation today .&nbsp;&nbsp; The fact is there are just not many pre-1965 silver quarters left that have not been intentionally pulled from circulation for collections or melted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
