A bit off-topic here... but regarding the silver quarter hunters, I have a concern/question. Do you ever get short rolls? I've roll-searched dimes and find about at least 1 silver per thousand searched. Dimes are probably better for finding silver... but be careful. I've had entire blocks with (systematically) 49 dimes each. Short rolls hugely cut into any silver I find. I basically quit searching dimes because of this.


I don't bother counting the number of coins in a roll. If 2 coins from a roll are keepers, I simply replace those 2 coins in the same roll. The bank obviously didn't count the rolls when they got them, so I doubt they'll count them when they get them back from you.

On the flip side of this, I have received rolls of dimes which were in plastic rolls of pennies. I got an extra buck in each of those as they contained 60 dimes. It was quite obvious too.. teller hands me two bundles of 10 rolls each, with a few rolls clearly towering over the bundles, lol.

Very rare to see nickel quarters, much less silver quarters. Still possible to find silver dimes.
