I have been searching for a silver quarter in pocket change since the late 70's. I haven't found one red cent, I mean one silver quarter.

Sweet. The only silver I've found in circulation is a couple beat-up War Nickels. Nice find!

You know, when I was younger (GAWD I sound old saying that LOL) I would find silver coins on a rather frequent basis. And did not really think about it even though I knew they were silver. Just never occurred to me to keep them until I was older and found them a lot less. Same goes for Ikes. Used to spend those all the time.

So cool find dude!

I don't think I ever found silver in change since the 70s till this recession. In change I've found about three War Nickels a year since '08, about four silver FDRs overall, a couple of 40% Kennedys from bank requests and way back to '03 six Mercury dimes all at once in a cash register. That was a fun day.

I found a heavily toned silver dime in change a year or so ago also and I never ever look through my change. I just threw it in the jug and I saw it was toned so I pulled it out and it was a 1964 silver dime

Mine looks very similar to yours, Bryan except the toning on mine is a little more uneven. The only reason I probably even looked at it was because of the toning. Since I can't see for squat since I turned 40, I looked at the edge and didn't see the clad colors. Got out my loupe and sure enough, a 64.

Congrats on the find.
I work retail, so I come up with a few every now and then.
I got a 63 Washington last week and a 57 yesterday.
