Question on 90% silver bags......

I understand the these are circulated, but what are the chances of finding some decent coins if I buy a bag? Enough to pay for shipping.

    I would say that your chances start at 0% and go down from there.

    I bought $350 in circ silver washington quarters and pulled half a roll of SLQ's out! Bought $150 worth of Mercury dimes and got a dozen different Barbers (now in a Dansco album). Bought $200 in silver Roosevelts at melt and completed two sets (guy threw a few clads in too tho, so be careful). Haven't had as much luck with halves and dollars, however. Most dealers sell larger coins in rolls, so mixed bags are only way to find anything decent (with exception of old hoards I never get first dibs on anyways). Good luck and have fun.
