Went through 10 rolls of quarters picked up from a bank and found 24 silver ones from the 1960s. Mostly the centennial ones so only half silver but a great find.

Where did you get the coin rolls from? Which city? I live in Vancouver, BC, (big city on the west coast of Canada) and my quarter rolls never yielded any silver at all. I have searched through almost 3000 dollars in quarters since I started to search through quarters a few months ago, and I never found any silver quarters!

Wow, 24 silver quarters is awesome! I've only found a silver quarter once in a roll. It really is hard to find them in circulation or rolls so you have to search quite a bit to find any, and even then you need luck.

Recent haul from 8000 quarters:
25 cent Cayman islands, 2000 Canada Post Token , 2012 Christmas Quarter, and a 1957.

I recently picked up four rolls of quarters in search of the new 2017 release.
I got 90 Mounties, 66 1968s and four 1974s. And none of them were large bust or silver.
The next day I went back to the same branch in hopes to find some more older quarters, but they were out.

Yesterday I picked up a box of quarters ($500) and $7.50 in pennies. In the quarters I found 7 1973 RCMPs, 30 USAs & 1 Bermuda 25¢. Got skunked on the silver as expected. in the pennies I got 540 copper pennies, of those 421 of them were dated between 1965-1981. I also got 14 Copper USAs, 11 LMC & 3 LWC, of the LWC the oldest was a 1918. Overall I think I did pretty good, especially with the copper pennies. I couple of the rolls were these plastic clip type rolls, they remind me of the old plastics curlers women would use to curl their hair. In them the coins were all organised by date, there would be 5 or 6 coins dated 1972 followed by 5 or 6 coins dated 1973, etc. Pretty weird, but I'm not complaining!  |

Interesting finds. For some reason those plastic clip rolls never caught on down here in the States. I thought they were kind of cool.

Canadian coins have ARP for many years by the RCM, the alloy recovery program so basically only steel coins are left |

@ angemon - Are you in Toronto by chance? The four quarter rolls I just found that we're full of Mounties and 1968s we're also in those plastic "hair roller" clips. I got them at the BMO near IKEA.

@cedargrove - I'm in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. In all of the quarter rolls I've hunted I've only ever found one silver, a 1968 and that was a couple months ago.
Edited (forgot to add): The plastic coin clip rolls were from the pennies.

I am just up the road in Amherst. I have searched 8 boxes of quarters this year and so far I have found one 1968, two 1967, a 1962 and 1999 December silver quarters. I also got a 2005 specimen and a couple Canada post tokens

So far for the year I've found 26 silver dimes, including a 1946 USA dime & a 1963 Silver Swiss 1/2 Franc. |
