The great thing it costs you nothing (Spend the reg. coins on gas or something you would anyway) The rewards can be awesome, my boys and I do this and we have found some great coins over the years For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. |
| Dirtfarmer User ID: 461042 United States07/08/2008 09:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We handle a lot of coins through the convenience store, and find one occasionally. It really doesn't amount to even 1 in a thousand. There are very limited silver coins left out there unless junior gets in dads stash or something like that.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 447727 United States07/08/2008 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The pop machine wouldn't take my quarter and realized it was a silver quarter and I also have a silver dime that was in circulation. The silver quarter I think was accidently spent becuase it is in excellent condition. Maybe someones kid stole change of dads special place for candy. |

| MuadDib987 User ID: 461646 United States07/08/2008 10:18 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I worked in the cash office for a retail chain for 6 years, and probably found fewer than a dozen in that time.

| Konomonose User ID: 340133 United States07/08/2008 10:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | those ripoff "coinstar"/coin counting machines at grocery stores reject silver and foreign coins as do toll boths(save up enough Canadian coins and then trade them in as they are worth more than our $ now). look in the reject slot of these machines. I get maybe 5-10 junk silver coins a year this way usually quarters and dimes. I did find a barely readable 1810 or so US dime coin book valued a few years ago at $14 or so, but those values are high anyway. |

| banker User ID: 476005 United States07/30/2008 11:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work in a bank and we get rolled coin by the box. I find, on average, 3 - 5 silver quarters or dimes per box. Some boxes contain more some none at all. Luckily the rolls within these boxes are clear plasic and you can see the silver coins among the clads. I just replace the silver coin I find with a clad coin from my pocket change. I've accumulated quite a nice silver stash over the past couple of years. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 566091 United States12/08/2008 05:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wartime nickels (1942 through 1945 including all mints) contain 35 % silver because nickel was a critical war commodity. That's why they look more 'gunmetal' color than the (paradoxically) silvery color of regular issues. Quoting: whocarez 513922 |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 813733 United States12/13/2009 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Purchased approximately 130 lbs over the last two - three years from a local coin store. Most purchase for going rate minus 10%. I stated when it was 9.00 an ounce. Wish I woke up to this years ago. Once, I walked into a bank and purchase less than 10.00 which would retail for over 55.00 at the time. Looking for more..... |
| Quazi15 User ID: 911425 United States03/09/2010 08:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been getting bank rolls and in $200 of nickels i have found 3, $80 in dimes yielded 3 silvers and in $400 quarters i didnt find one. :( But i am happy with my other finds. It is easy dont even bother to look at dates just hold 50 or so coins together and the clad sandwiches clearly have cu in them while the silver coins are a solid silver color. To look thru $80 in dimes it only took 15 min. |

If I had know what silver was when I was a kid... fuck a video game, I want $5/ounce silver. |
I found 1 dime and 2 nickels with $100 worth of rolls. Beats the lottery because you never loose money.
