[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2170252, member: 15929"]It really depends. I've gone through boxes with nothing but then I'd get a box that had nearly a roll of silver in them. You "can" get 40% Silver Kennedy Halfs, 90% Silver Kennedy Halfs, 90% Silver Franklin Halfs, and 90% Silver Walking Liberty Halfs. At only 50 cents a piece it makes the hunt worth it. Can I guarantee you'll find something in your first box? Nope. But if you've the time and you want cheap silver then Half Dollar boxes is the ONLY way to go. You can search Quarter Rolls and Boxes but you gotta remember, the Quarter is THE most widely used coin in the country. You can search dime rolls and boxes but dimes are used on a regular basis. The ONLY coin which is NOT used on a regular basis, is the Half Dollar. As such, few people ever check them out for silver and even then most folks believe that the silver stopped with the 1964 dated coins. You WILL find silver. Aside from the silver, I've pulled some nice DDO coins out of circulated boxes which I had graded and sold for between $50 and $150 bucks each. But you have to know what you're doing.[/QUOTE]
