Message:: [QUOTE="BostonMike, post: 185924, member: 7251"]If anything i would think the nickels would be the easiest. Silver quarters should be the hardest in my opinion because they are bigger and it's easier to notice they are "different".  WHen i found my quarter, it was because i noticed that the change had a different "ring" to it when the kid at the window handed it to me. Silver dimes don't have the same ring to them as much. I mean they ring as silver, but they blend better with clad since they are lighter and their ring is slightly quieter. The war nickels look and feel like regular nickels, so unless you look at the date, you'd never really know.  For nickels, aside from the 44-P war nickel, i've found tons from the 50's. I even got lucky and found a '40 nickel on a sidewalk once (looked like a recent drop). WHeat cents come around every couple months. If i really want some wheats, i just go to the bank and grab $20 in pennies and can pull 10 or so wheat cents out of those rolls. Been meaning to try some roll searching in other denominations, but unsure what to try. I think quarters would be the hardest to find silver in.  Dimes might be slightly easier but i always heard you could pull nickels back to '38 easily from rolls. I think i'm gonna pick up $20 worth of something for the weekend, but unsure what denomination yet.[/QUOTE]
