<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 6390776, member: 68&quot;]There have been no silver quarters in &quot;circulation&quot; since 1970.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you find a silver quarter in change it&#039;s because it just got into change by accident, happenstance, or misfortune.&nbsp; Coins that can&#039;t trade hands for a while can not &quot;circulate&quot;.&nbsp; These also don&#039;t work in machines so might get tossed in the trash by someone who is frustrated by it. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a huge spike in incidence of silver quarters 2008 caused by the economic collapse and another in 2020 caused by the response to covid but they do not circulate.&nbsp; When households fail things like the coins set aside in the china cabinet simply get spent or tossed. </p><p><br /></p><p>What you won&#039;t see is a bunch of old high grade&nbsp; clad quarters getting spent at gas stations and laundromats.&nbsp; There are two reasons; people don&#039;t have any old clad in high grade and nobody is looking for old clad in high grade.&nbsp; If anyone were spending old clad in high grade it would soon be chewed up in circulation and would look much like all the other coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every day clad gets torn up a little more but people still seek or see only the old silver coins that exist by the millions in rolls and bags.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
