In the many thousands of dollars worth of rolls I have done in the last 5-6 years, quarters AND dimes have yielded ZERO silver
Nickels have given me war nickels and as far back as 1938. Halves have given me silver (franklins and kennedys) and proofs.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
have no halves, no Ikes and darn little of anything
other then quarters and pennies.

Since the start of the year founds several S.L.Qs. . a Washington 1932 among others.

Those are hard to come by in Okla.. Members on this board claim they are worth face value
only. I have offered 12.50 a roll plus shipping and no one seems to want my money...
Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Like a few others, nickels do seem to bring more finds. I usually find 1 war nickel per box and a handful from the 40's and sometimes a 1939.
And like others, getting halves is just tough at times.

Remind me not to walk out of your bank with a hundred dollars in quarters.
You ended up with a dollar

What did they give you $99.00 in Slugworths?
My best find was a roll of mixed Buffalo nickels & war nickels a few years ago.
War nickels are still commonly found around here and plenty of 1939's (Philly).
Never found a 39-D, 42-D or 50-D from rolls yet.
I have found all other date/MM however.
Once in a rare while I'll find a BU nickel from the 1940's.
Best I found was a nickel with a nice cud on it. I'll try to post a picture later.
Increasingly, the nickels from the 1970's, 80's and even 90's are heavily worn or very beat up, almost abused looking.
1964 examples still make up the largest percentage found by date followed by the early 2000's.

Lincolns - still have yet to find a DD. I Check 72, 83,84 and 95
Wheaties - almost daily. Found a 09-vdb once
Indian Head Cents - one nice score - opened a roll and out came about 6 indians and many many wheaties
Buffalos - find occasionally but mostly slicks
Jeffersons - find war nickels monthly. Lots of 38 and 39s
Dimes - find a few silvers a year - found mercs twice
Quarters - found a few silver ones - just washingtons
Halves - never - lucky to get a clad
Currency - found many red and blue seals. But the best was a solid 444444444 serial number $10
It's pointless to search quarter rolls for silver, but VERY interesting to try to build a clad set these days. In the couple of months I've been doing it, I've already learned a lot about what's happened to our coinage in the past 50 years. Plus, it's fun to just fill up those slots and try to upgrade. While most 60s, 70s, and even 80s dates are dogs, every once in a while a very nice specimen pops out. It takes me back to the "pure collecting" I enjoyed as a kid. I wish I'd picked some up for the weekend!

<< <i>It's pointless to search quarter rolls for silver >>
exactly, the hours spent searching the rolls is not worth the occasional coin valued at $2.50, and then having to return the countless number of rolls. I stop at the bank once every 2 weeks or so and get $20 worth of nickels and then spend about 30 minutes looking through them, keeping the ones that are unusually high grade and atleast 20 years old.
<< <i>I don't know why you even bother roll searching for silver quarters. There is next to zero left in circulation. I don't roll search any dimes or quarters because I know I'm not gonna find any silver and banks around here consider having half dollars as a sin. I like searching nickels the best because their the least desired (watched for) so I have good chances of finding higher grades, plus their perfect size and simple design make them easy to scan for higher grades, and they have the perfect balance between how much money you trade for number of coins you get. >>
Went to five banks and found 7 half dollars in total.
