<p>[QUOTE="The Outlaw, post: 1404364, member: 37120"]i've actually just decided i'd like to see what i could find earlier tonight while researching silver coins and considering searching for silver quarters. it all started while researching a gift (2006 NGC gem uncirculated silver eagle) and considering buying more and some silver bars. i then stumbled onto the fact that quarters from 1964 back were 90% silver, that led me here and now im thinking it may be fun to search for other things. i dont really plan on collecting alot of coins for keeping but more for the hunt, sort of like a new age treasure hunt. in all honesty pretty much anything i'd find that wasnt super interesting to me would probably be traded off for silver. i really want to put silver away for a while as a form of savings. i chose silver because its affordable and still has kept going up in value. i dont have alot of spare income so more expensive medals like gold or platinum are out of reach for me. if i could have fun searching through change and possibly add to my silver collection in the process im all for giving it a try. i've always loved "treasure hunting" weather it was looking for fossils when i was a kid, or searching for old fishing lures when they drained most of the the local lake for winters it was always something.</p><p><br /></p><p>with all that said, im not sure which rolls i'd be most likely to find something good in that would set the hook on me and get the addiction started. originally i wanted to start with quarters and dimes looking for the silver years but i read something here earlier that pretty much sound like thats slim pickins since everyone else is doing the same thing. i'd want something that is easy to spot when i get to it but not so common that its still only worth face value. if i cant find silver finding something that would be easy to trade off for silver would be a bonus even if i need to find a good bit of them first. also i cant really afford to start out going through boxes at a time, at most right now i could probably spend about $200 to get started searching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
