Last night - I finally found my last silver quarter to complete a roll of silver washington quarter, they are all from '56 to '64.
I am real proud of my achievement, all of them comes from daily change.
edit to add - to be completely honest, I have to say managing a retail with about $11 millions a year revenues and lot of cash helped

Still impressive - any other interesting finds?

type B - what should I look for in the coin? Any particular year?
Here is a thread what to look for on Type B's. Let us know if you find any.
Type B
U.S. Type Set
I found 2 of them in 2 years...(1936 and 1945)
Surprise! The years in question are 1956-1964 but Philadelphia mint only.
Worn B's sometimes are quite obvious by tarnish forming in the higher relief crevices and the eagle looks outlined in black. I remember seeing those when silver circulated, but I didn't know what they were then.

a quarter per quarter for 10years.
nice job!!!
many of mine were also collected from change.
Perhaps you should also be checking for the 1969 D thru 1972 D type B quarters. 1969 D type B should be the easiest. I found one about every 120 1969D's. But finding the 120 1969 D's is the first trick.
Next project is to find a cheerio dollar and more silver -
