Finding Silver Coins

if you are in need of cash I don't really think this would be a fast enough payoff for you, a second job or something would be the best bet for a bigger payoff because you aren't going to find that many silver coins to actually make a profit when you add in the time it takes to search through the rolls and the amount of silver coins you are actually going to find, the part time job just working for those hours you are going to spend searching, and the gas to get the coins and to take the clad coins back I would think would pay you allot more. Of course this is just my opinion and others may have another one to share

Searching for silver is fun when you can see how much you have collected over a years worth of time. Not days.

If I spent all the time I spent on searching rolls for silver working an actual job, I would be farther ahead.

If someone wants to get rid of silver for very very cheep prices, you wont find it. Myself and thousands of other people will probably beat you to it.

I had to join a credit union to get half dollars In addition I had to promise not to bring them back.
I get a box a week ($500) when I am home as my credit union only orders change once a week.
For the most part I will get 1 90% and 2 40% per box. Every now and again I get lucky and find a whole lot more.
So on a $500 box I end up with about $10 in silver. it take about an hour to go through a box properly as I look for bu coins and errors as well. It takes me another hour to wrap them. On Sundays I drop them off at my banks Grocery store branch where the clerk is not best pleased to get them but they take them anyway.
So for 2 Hours work I make about $8.50 profit which works out at less than minimum wage but I do it for the fun more than anything.
Last box had a Franklin 1948 if I remember correctly.

Get a shovel, go to your local grave site, Hey, you might find some gold teeth!.

You guys are correct on spending money on gas to buy rolls of coins to search. The price of gas will kill you and eat up profit. Its like playing the lotto on trying to find silver coins or key date nickels. Been there done that before. I used buy lots of rolls of coins and drive all over place to buy them, reroll them and sale them. Been there done that already.

I got to point these days if I have extra money and need to run arrands or do something . I will stop at banks and buy coins , search in truck. Dump them someplace like at Kroger store or my bank that has machices that turn back into cash. I did stop buying coins and driving an extra 15 miles to my bank just to buy coins. Ifs not worth with the price of gas like it is. So if you do it do on your way to grocery store or on way to your job before you report to work its worth it but not making runs to bank for onley coins everyday like I used to.

I have went thousands of rolls before. I learned the onley way you will ever find any good coins. You need buy 10 to 20 fed boxs all at same time to search at your house. One box at time its not worth with price of gas I learned.

One last thing silver dimes and quarters are so rare. I never found one yet. My last box of halves. I found maybe 10 silver coins in there aslong with 3 proofs.

Like everyone has said, searching rolls for silver as a money-making endeavor is not worth it (a minimum-wage part-time job will make more money).

I've done a little roll searching, but not all that much. From my experience, the most likely finds, in order, are: 1) 40% silver halves, 2) 35% silver War Nickels, 3) 90% silver halves, 4) 90% silver dimes, and 5) 90% silver quarters.
