| mathetes User ID: 327572 United States07/08/2008 08:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's the secret, go into a bank perferably one in a snaller town and buy $100 worth of halves and dollars (coins,not the new ones!) and search, the bank will love you as they hate storing them. 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. How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think. Adolf Hitler When the government fears the people there is liberty; when the people fear the government there is tyranny.

I bet if you find a large bunch they would have been stolen I've heard store clerks will sometimes see very rare coins used by a stupid thief who doesn't know what they have "If there is a new fascism, it won't come from skinheads and punks; it will come from people who eat granola and think they know how the world should be." - Brian Eno |

| 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. |

| 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..... |

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.
