<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 24892423, member: 13650&quot;]As a collector and a &quot;registry set participant&quot;&nbsp; my experience with W quarters are as follows.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve gotten two of them back in change in my normal daily life not looking for them.&nbsp; &nbsp; Though not in great condition, I saved them in airtites.&nbsp; &nbsp; I have also purchased two graded MS-66 examples.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You would have to find one in a roll that never circulated and get it graded to maybe win value wise.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anything that&#039;s been circulated is still a cool find.&nbsp;&nbsp; I figure somebody might buy it for $10 but there are a lot for sale and most people interested have their fill by now.&nbsp; &nbsp; The valuable ones are conditional rarities only and even most 66s can be had for not much more than the cost of grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Probably about 8-10 years ago&nbsp; <b>Edit: It was 15 years ago. lol</b>&nbsp;&nbsp; I made a thread here on the futility of searching for silver quarters...at that time.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-futility-of-searching-circulating-coins-for-silver-washington-quarter-edition.46623/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-futility-of-searching-circulating-coins-for-silver-washington-quarter-edition.46623/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/the-futility-of-searching-circulating-coins-for-silver-washington-quarter-edition.46623/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I did the math based on the actual total mintage numbers and pretended the entire mintage of every silver quarter ever produced was dumped into a pot of the entire mintage of clads and if you mixed them all up at that time, I gave the odds of picking out a silver.&nbsp;&nbsp; The percentage was miniscule.&nbsp; &nbsp; Every year quarters are diluted again by the billions.&nbsp; &nbsp; The percentage gets diced up again every year that goes by and everyone has screened hard for any silver for decades.&nbsp; &nbsp; You can do what you want, it&#039;s your time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
