<p>[QUOTE="ACoinJob, post: 2808795, member: 76768"]Good luck if you do find silver coins in your pocket change. I still check mine. But the reason why is because they quit minting them, and out of circulation in so long, it's tough to get anyone to spend them, so I'm not alone in this. Your question was "How Common"? Mathematically, several million went to melt down, divided by several billion clad coins now in common circulation. Take the melt number and subtract it from the mintage for the last few years, then divide the remainder by the billions of quarters now in circulation. Something like 25,000,000 / 35,000,000,000 for clad quarters pre 1999 Statehood quarters. The answer came back as 0.00071428571 or 1 divided by this number is a ratio you would likely find in circulation as silver compared to clad pre 1999. I got ( 1 : 1400 ) as silver quarters to pre 1999 clad quarters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
