Volume is the key to finding silver, I like to search $500-$1,500 at a time, usually customer rolls. I've averaged 1 silver per $100 for years, along with silver and clad proof finds, Barber dimes, Mercury dimes and early foreigns. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

I just thought tonight about an hour ago "Tomorrow when I get up I am going to go to the bank and start roll searching." Pennies of course but I also remembered I read an article in Strike It Rich with Pocket Change about dimes so I thought dimes too! There is a mention in that book about using something called a 'tissue cloth' over laid over a silver and non silver dime next to each other and the silver dime will be lighter then the non silver. There's an image in the book if someone wants me to scan it. But the thing was when I tried to 'buy a tissue cloth' having never heard of one before I cant find it on google either. Anyone know what that is? I wonder if maybe its a generic term for a Kleenex which I dont even know what the generic term is because I've only ever heard 'tissue' or Kleenex but tissue can also refer to a packing material. Thing is I dont have a silver dime to test it with to match his picture. (Though I just realized I think I have some silver clad coins I might be able to compare to but then again those are proof so that might affect the test.) Thanks for any help. Hope this is on topic.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 08/25/2012 08:35 am Easy test, done that for years also. Take a 2-ply kleenex, remove 1 sheet, place over coins. Silver will appear white, clad dark. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors... Roll hunting since '77 Dirt fishing since '72 Report this Post to the Staff
