DanNickelCollector New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 2:19 pm Nice! I've only found one silver quarter, a 1957, and it was in a roll. I also have a silver Canadian quarter from 1952, but American coins mean more to me. Hopefully I'll find some some silvers soon! Report this Post to the Staff
ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 06/19/2011 3:16 pm A year or so ago I was standing behind a woman at a soda machine. She was getting frustrated because the machine would not take the quarter she was putting in. After a few tries, she turned to me to ask if I had a quarter we could trade so she could get her soda. Glad to help, I did. We traded. Curiously I looked at the coin to see why the machine was rejecting it- it was silver but I don't remember the year. The weight was wrong to the machine. I told the woman what was wrong and offered her a second quarter but she just shrugged and said a quarter was a quarter. My good luck, but I shuddered at the thought that someone had no regard for the things we hold dear. Report this Post to the Staff

sethhsu New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 06/23/2011 2:26 pm really really good luck. When I first knew that some pre 1964 US coins are silver, I checked all the coins I had, and found a 1963 dime in my girlfriend's purse. After that, have never seen a single silver coin from circulation and roll searching again. Report this Post to the Staff
