I always thought that the counting machines would kick out any silver that was dropped into them?

I did a search today and all the coinstar machines in Houston are all in Walmarts and grocery stores like HEB, do they own the machines or are they owned by Coinstar?

Just depends on how "tight" they have them adjusted. |

$100 in quarters last night -- nothing whatsoever.
Out of $140 in quarters, I found a '64 silver. Not too bad, I suppose :)

Does anyone know where I can find a list of key date quarters post 1964? I have no idea what I'm really looking for, so I'm just depositing back the 1965 and newer quarters.
Thanks!

The key date Washington quarters are 1932-D and 1932-S. There are semi-key dates of 1934-D, 1936-S, 1937-S, 1938-S, 1939-S, 1940-D, and 1955-D. The key is to save all silver.  |

Post 64, there aren't any real keys, but one interesting thing to look for are issues struck on dime thickness stock. They look worn and are lightweight, 1970d being the commonest example.

bradford, yes usually they are owned by coinstar inc, so I was shocked when I found out he owned the machine, and I was also shocked as well when I found silver in the quarter bag and halves. Everyone was saying coinstar rejects the silver and they use large vaults inside the machines - maybe for every other coinstar but not this guys machine guess I lucked out

Whaaaat? No one searches quarters anymore?  lol jk Just a curiosity question for those that still do: Do you ever find any older clad quarters that are worn down into the letters like the old silver coins did? The most worn coins I've ever found were from the original three years (1965-1967) with the rims just starting to merge with the letters and numbers. This is probably because the clad composition is a much tougher metal than silver was, and people just don't use coins as much as they used to. |

good luck searching for quarters. There are few out there, few and far between. For all the rolls you search through, for all the gas you use driving to the bank to get these rolls, you probably wont find a silver quarter, but if you actually do, that is what, 8 bucks worth of silver? You could of bought one and saved yourself hours. Ask yourself, was this one quarter worth 10 hours of searching through quarter rolls and the $20 I wasted of gas? You'd have better luck going to the bank and grabbing bulk penny bags. atleast there you'll find wheat cents and indian head pennies and some old canadian coins. just my opinion. I HAVE BEEN TO THE BANK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, GRABBED A 1,000 DOLLAR QUARTER BAG AND NOTHING ALMOST EVERY TIME. only once did I find 21 quarters
