<p>[QUOTE="blsmothermon, post: 1027621, member: 26158"]In my opinion, as far as circulating coins go, you are more likely to find silver in pre-'64 dimes. This is the focus of my roll searching. I havent been too lucky yet, but this is my logic. If you want to do roll searching, you have to think about what is available. Most banks do not have halves or large dollars on hand. If they did, then I would think these would be the best shot at finding silver. Quarters have been flooded with the statehood issues, so not much chance there. There have been over 180 different quarter issues since 1964, so I count them out as flooded with clad coinage. </p><p> </p><p>Dimes however, have had only 90 issues since 1964, and given the unavailability in my market of large dollars and halves, this is the most likely source for silver coinage. I know it is still an unlikely source, given the mintages, but to offset that and with my belief that alot of old coinage is enterning the bank market, I only search hand-rolled rolls. I hope this helps, or maybe someone has an opinion on it that may change my mind, thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
