<p>[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 504574, member: 3534"]People who search rolls of Washingtons hoping to find silver are gluttons for punishment. They are all gone except for the few that pop up now and then when someone's coin collection gets raided. Those usually get spent in a hurry too, and wind up in someone else's collection before they'll make it to a bank's coin counter and back into a roll.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I decided to start searching rolls I didn't even consider the Washington as an option because the chances of finding anything worth more than 25¢ are almost nil. I narrowed it down to cents, nickles, and halves. I went with halves because I thought they'd not been picked over as much as the denominations we always see in our change every day. I'll do a box of cents once in a while, and have found some neat things occasionally, but I believe halves to be the most rewarding- for me that is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
