My 6 Weeks Of Quarter Roll Search

Look out for proofs

if you plan on doing $100/week for six weeks, don't take this wrong or be discouraged, but I wouldn't expect to find much. Based on averages - you will be lucky to find a single silver. I hope I am wrong, but I do easily 2-3k/month in quarters and I average 1 silver/$1000

I would recommend either trying to do more money, or go for dimes/nickels.

why not look for some varieties while they are in front of you ... like 1965 DDO, 1970D DDO etc...

some are worth a hundred times more than a regular silver quarters

wheatchaser - I have search over 15k of quarters this year and have yet to find a standing liberty. I search bags from coin counting machines, so I stand a decent chance of finding the mother lode where someone would dump an old bucket of coin or old rolls - not knowing what they had (its happened with halves and dimes before - those are great days).

it all boils down to luck, you could find one, or you may never find one. You could get lucky and find a whole roll worth of them, find dozens in a bag from coin counter, or you may search thousands of dollars worth and not find any silvers at all.

I am not trying to be negative at all, but just trying to temper expectations.

CoinCbass-

I thought bank counters typically reject silver, how do your find rates compare with roll searchers?

The coin counters at the bank I use do not reject silver. I have arrangements with two branches with different models and they both get silver.

My finds roughly compare. I have seen people claim to average 1 silver quarter per 500$ to one per 1500$ on this forum. I average 1 per 1000$ or so. I have the possibility of getting a silver dump, but I can also get coin roll hunter dump. Most of what I get is from regular people and vending machines, etc that are dumped.

I have found two consecutive bags w quarters from the 30's in the past. I have also done 3 bags in a row with zero.

I actually just pounded out a box and got two - 64 and 59 that is BU and shiny for the most part but has gunk on some portions.

Ironic that I just warned about getting your hopes up this morning. My best bag is two, done several times.

Quarters are my least favorite and least productive bags, but that's what they had today. Got another to do in the morning

I completed the second 1000$ bag this morning. No silver or proofs. so I am at 1 silver/1000$.

That's going to work against you. If there's any group in our population that's educated on US silver coinage, it's the older folks. Even when it comes down to paying for the groceries with rolled up change, the elderly will keep their silver until their final rest. I know many that have, including my grandparents.

Either way, good luck in the hunt.
