<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3981033, member: 106826"]Your disappointment is probably proportionate to your expectations. As our fellow enthusiasts point out, the pickings are slimmer-and-slimmer as the years pass. Scarcity is a function of original mintage, age, and the saturation of newer, more common coins. And when it comes to silver, there are folks (like you?) that merely are silver searchers (rather than coin collectors). If you research here/elsewhere, you'll find that the return on investment (time and energy) is pretty low. To be honest, if you are a collector (or become one), you might find that when you are looking for other things (high grade specimens, errors, varieties, other collectables) that the bonus will be the occasional silver coin. Like searching Cent rolls: scarcity of wheat back cents is offset by the numbers of errors/varieties you could collect. In reality, it's far more productive to look for those items than it is to solely search for the Wheaties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
