I managed to get $1000 in quarters-The worst I ever got (with one possible exception). There only were about 10 coins dated after 2016, thus no chance for "W"'s. There were many uncirculated 2016 and 2015 coins. (I kept none of these) I found no varieties, well maybe one. 468 washer coins or more (almost 12% which seems awfully high) No silver.
What????? A 2010-P Yellowstone quarter struck in silver? or 40% silver or? This coin looks original and has a silver look, The weight is 5.73g on my uncalibrated chinese scale when a regular clad quarter weighs 5.63 on this scale and the official minted weight is supposed to be 5.67g. Well within tolerance of a clad quarter, but still over. What do you think of it?
What appears to be black marks on the rim is just reflection. The rim is silver looking all the way around. At first I thought it was a pre-1965 coin. There appears to be no center layer.
Yes two $500 boxes. If the 2010 is silver or ?, well worth the effort for just one coin! Easy to dump the searched coins now! The girl at the one bank was very happy to take them!
It's not dry yet- check out the 2010! One coin may have made it well worth the effort!!
Have you tried the sound check? Silver definitely sounds different when pinged.
No, that does not work for me, I am tone deaf. I cannot detect a difference, maybe others can, but, I cannot.
Make two stacks of quarters like poker chips. One stack with the silver in the middle. Lift the first stack 1" and slowly feather drop. You know, like they do when playing Texas Hold'em. Now try the other stack and repeat until you hear the difference and let me know what happens
Easier way is Tissue test - silver shines through - clad doesn't. There were so many plated State Quarter sets that arent worth a crap today so people just broke them out and put them into circulation..............Plating can add to the original weight - so that may be what you have.

The large and small dollar coins never seemed to work in circulation either....................except in Vegas!
Large dollar coins - LOL - could you carry around a pocket full of Ikes? Now you know why those dudes had their pants around their knees when they were trying to outrun the Cops - Brilliant, EH? LOL! Should have stole the dollar bill collection. Alot less "weighty"

You sure that works? Sounds like an old wives' tale, are you an old wife
Seriously though what if the clad looks like silver! Is it still gonna show darker or what if the silver is dark.
I'm finally putting an order together tonight over a few cold ones and I'm calling BS on this one
Okay! It only took 2 margaritas and four beers (in that order) to make the final decisions (that’s the hardest part), find the right packaging (the screw box is labeled zinc and most of them are and then put that box inside the same box they came from), tape it up w/o forgetting the paperwork…
(Let’s see what else…# 5 and the hunt gets the ole reset

How will that work on plated coins? I would think an XRF would be the most effective way to know.

Just for you Kennedy searchers, I see that a 1972 D with no "FG" is now listed in a MS66 grade by PCGS. Pop 1 with none higher.
There are now 6 in a MS63 grade, 2 in a MS64 grade and one in a MS64+ grade.
There are currently no coins graded in a MS65.
See: PCGS# 147888 Cert# 41353225
SO KEEP LOOKING.

I have a bunch of them. Just one small problem........they're no where near 66,65,54,63,62,61,60 or AU.
Hey everyone I’ve never done any coin roll hunting before. Picked up a roll of pennies at my local grocery store, just for the heck of it. Found this 1954 D wheat, gotta admit I kind of want to search more rolls now lol.

Oh sure, at first just a few rolls, then $20 dollars worth of Cents and Nickels, then boxes............and "BOOM" just like that, you can't stop! LOL!!!!!!!!!

Hey Tom, 40% are cool to find but last time I tried to sell a roll I barely got melt. Now the 64's are great to keep, although silver is down today with the economy............

Wouldn't you know it? In the last roll! The lone silver find. What are the odds to be in the last roll of 21?
Ugly but SILVER!

Well the weak WE is just from an over polished die - But nice toning if the pic shows in hand~
EDIT - just noticed how there is a ridge ring starting to form on the reverse also - definitely a worn set of dies! Polished to keep them going -

@rec78 That was tough dry run. Better luck next run.

Try visiting a local LCS or jewelry store. They might have an XRF that can list out the metals in the quarter.

I have a bunch of them. Just one small problem........they're no where near 66,65,54,63,62,61,60 or AU.
Got a call from one of my banks this morning: "We have a box. You want it, come a get it"
When I got there, I could see the box behind the counter. It was a mess! I thought for sure it was already searched. I couldn't say no.
But it wasn't.
Pulled a 33-D today, Mintage of 6.2 million - but damaged with 2 deep hits on the reverse
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Man @Steven59, you're pulling Wheat's from circulation like Joey pulls silver!.......................or like I pull W's.

The area around the mishap looks to be very clean.
My first thought was some type of mint error. Is there damage on the opposite side of that hit (anomaly) on the rim?
This looks like a hit on the opposite side of the coin. Blakesley effect?
I'de say there's no way that could be from the strike. Some kind of perfect hit with metal movement. But it sure looks good for an eBay sale! LOL
