First silver coin find

Thought I'd share my first silver coin find. This 1964 quarter was given in change at a Staples in Philadelphia. Needless to say, I was super ecstatic.

Whenever that happens, ask for 2 dollars in quarters right away (Before you walk away). Each quarter is worth about six dollars... It's worth the effort. Nice find.

that was easy

That's great advice. I only started looking for silver these past 2 years. Next time I'll definitely glance at my change before I leave the store.

and keep your eye on the till when it opens. And listen for the sound of silver.

If you also have a few of the same demonination to swap that would work, too. "I like old quarters!" Is all you have to say.

Congrats! It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Nice find! I love the sweet ring of silver vs. clad!

Way to go!

Great find, I would have requested the quarters left in the register.... really great find. Cheers, RickO

nice pick up

Ya, when that happens, I always say "oh man I gotta do laundry
tonight, can you spare $5.00 in quarters" and one time it netted
me 11 more silvers.

When I get home, I'll practice flipping silver vs. clad quarters to learn their distinct sounds.

Great line! Congrats on finding so many silver quarters at once, that's an unbelievable haul.

Thanks everyone.

Not sure we have enough date to make that assumption, I have heard on more than a few occasions how little Johnny dipped into grampa's coins for some candy (Or just outright theft).

Nice find. I live in the backwoods of Oklahoma and I find these all the time. There at every bank. A small % that is

Leonidas · February 25, 2012 8:08AM

Some people think their rare.......I find silver coin all the time. People trading in their stuff...It's Oklahoma ya know

I've gone through $5500 in quarters so far this year. 4 silvers found.

That's pretty in-line with my historical track record of 1 per 2.5 boxes ($1,250). >>

Touche!

Great advice to look in the drawer or ask if you get a surprise in your change. Picked up four virtually Unc Silver Certificates the other day by doing just that. I too wondered if someone had pilfered Grandpa's cigar box for candy money.

robkool · February 25, 2012 12:59PM

Now you can check to see if it's a type B quarter...
