<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 505100, member: 4626&quot;]I have found only two silver quarters in circulation my whole life... a 1964 a few years ago and a 1948 about 20 years ago (was about 12 at the time).&nbsp; Silver dimes I&#039;ve had much better luck with; in the about 2 years I worked as a cashier at Sam&#039;s Club, I found about 20 of them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found about 3 since (but I work in a much lower volume retail job now, where the vast majority pay by credit card, not cash, so don&#039;t have nearly the volume to search through).&nbsp; My theory is that silver dimes have managed to escape notice better than silver quarters and thus more are hiding in circulation than quarters.</p><p><br /></p><p>I searched through a $500 box of half dollars once just to find 5 silver halves, all 40%.&nbsp; With only a 0.5% success rate decided it was pretty much a futile effort and haven&#039;t bothered to do mass half searching since.&nbsp; Besides, in Colorado you get a lot of slot machine abuse victims (most of the halves were circulated through slot machines in the casinos in Central City and Blackhawk.&nbsp; Beats them up terribly and wears the reeding right off the edge!)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
