[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 8204977, member: 105098"]I searched about 30-40 boxes of quarters in 2019. I had many finds, no silver though, some Ws, a few rim cuds, a couple proof coins. I don't do half dollars or dollar coins, mostly because my banks won't deal with them. hahaha. I have a bank that I can go to get get their turn ins from customers, usually $10-$20 in halfs, and $80 or so in small dollars once a month. I don't find much silver in half dollars either and when I do find some it's the 40%, not the 90%. for me, quarters are just as good as halfs if looking for silver, it's not turning up. Dimes, dimes are good for looking for silver still, not crazy good, but the silver dimes get overlooked if it's a roosevelt. for me it would be quarters, for the chance of silver or W mint mark quarters which are an easy $5 bill or better on the Ebay. there's quite a few quarters that are an easy $5 bill on ebay for stupid reasons, but people buy them. I'll be honest here, back in the 1990s, I came across whole rolls of silver quarters or dimes occasionally. it's been a LONG time since anything like that has happened. but back then there were some opportunities left. Youtube and the roll hunters social media sctick has everyone and their brothers searching change for silver nowadays, when most folks in the early 90s had no idea it was even there. finds are few and far between in any denomination, unless you want the low hanging fruit of the 40% halfs, or the 35% nickels. Even dimes are harder now than back then.[/QUOTE]
