Excellent find! I hope to have that kind of luck some day! I am going to focus mostly on Dimes and nickels I think.
Chuck. Wow, just.....wow. Way to be on the look out!! That is probably the best find I have read yet!
I can not, for the life of me, figure out why someone would want to dump silver dollars into a coin machine. LOL

I get very excited when I find 1 silver dime in a roll (which only happens about every month or so.) I can't imagine what you have there. I'd probably have a coronary.

The coins were in regular paper wrappers. Some of the wrappers of looked a little older. And the were dramatically heavier in because they were bunndled in a $100 and they felt heavier. I put them in the plastic rolls so I can see what's inside and plus I feel when I see those shiny silver edges I appricate what I have. I didn't find and key dates on the quarters but I did find a merc dime that only had 1.5 million minted that was in good condition (it was from the 1930's I believe). The day I found the coins I had to pinch myself a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming because I have dreamed of finding stuff like this before.

I think it was the 1931 s merc. I plan just to keep them for the time being. I haven't sold any of the silver I have found. Until silver goes really high I don't know if I will sell. With the market in the state that it's in do you think silver will go up and what do you think the peck will be at? I think will the market sliding in the past few weeks I think gold/silver will go up.

i guess it depends on your coin fever... I would hold on as well until it peaked a little more. but, you can always cash out early and get a nice coin!

Congrats - that certainly is the find of a lifetime! I've found a grand total of one silver quarter and about 7 or 8 silver dimes in boxes.
