<p>[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 271515, member: 8247"]I add less than $100 face to my collection per week. But it's not just about the silver. I'm working on my proof set solely based on finds from circulation. For a 1971S through present, I'm only missing about 9 of the copper clads. I have both silver bicentennials (proof and uncirculated). I only have the 2000S 90%Ag, but I'm hopeful of eventually finding the rest. I do have a 1960 Franklin Proof, a couple 1964 proofs, and 2 of the SMS kennedies (don't remember which two off hand). Who knows, I may still complete a 1964 to present proof set. Oh, and I'm still looking for the 1970D and 2007P.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I also search other things like nickels, pennies, dimes, and the occasional box of quarters (I search the quarters because the box is the right size for storing certain things). </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm averaging about 1 wartime/buffalo per box (some boxes make up for the string of duds).
