CrazyCat Pillar of the Community United States 556 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 11:29 pm I've been roll hunting pennies for quite a while now, and it's been quite fun, but I've thought about starting to look for silver coins now. So I want to know whether it would be more cost effective to search dimes or quarters.I'm still in high school and I just started working, so I have little money to spend.

Eupion Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 05/14/2012 11:35 pm I would rather do nickels then quarters. Never done dimes before but from what I've read, I believe most would choose either dimes or halfs as their first choise and the other as their next. I personally like nickels when I'm taking a break from pennies. I pick up a box a week for my work, and I've estimated about 1 in 10 boxes of finding a silver quarter. In Los Angeles, especially near Ktown, I tend to get a lot of 100 won coins, which makes me mad since it worth a dime, and it looks almost like a silver quarter if just your edge hunting, which I tend to do at work.

fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 05/15/2012 06:26 am I've had consistent luck with dimes, and have searched maybe $3k in quarters in the last year or two. Silver finds (by weight) are actually somewhat close, per amount in dimes vs quarters searched. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
