I just got back from visiting my in-laws. They live in a small town (@1000 people) in the province next door.
I went to the local bank and asked for 20 rolls of quarters, dimes and nickels.
These were the 20 rolls of dimes:

Small-Town-Coin-Score

I opened the first one and boom, silver!! I continued the process and all 20 were silver rolls

Well, I'm hoping that you bought a lottery ticket as well. What a great return on your money!

I had a quick look so far and will do the rest on a rainy day. Found a 1951 clipped planchet:

and a 1943 with 3 die cracks:

The quarters were normal.

There was 1 roll 1968 50% silver, 1 roll of 1967 80%-50% silver and the rest were 80% silver or higher.
