100's if not more, but my dad started me off young. I've been searching change for as long as I can remember. 28 years maybe.

I've only been searching for about a year and I've come across over 100+ silver half dollars. Most of which I got in 1 batch of 4 boxes around Christmas.

I normally search only halves and dimes. Got about 50+ silver dimes this year, and 4 mercs. I can count on 1 silver dime per $120 searched.
When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...
Roll hunting since '77
Dirt fishing since '72

Enough to keep me searching. Just yesterday I found 2 90% silver Kennedy half dollars. As for nickels, I have found about 30 silver War Nickels in circulation. 2 Merc Dimes, and Zero silver quarters. I don't search with the volume that many here do but I have had my best luck finding silver coins with Nickels and Half Dollars. Only one disclaimer, sometimes halves are hard to get from the bank. |

Very few sadly. I've searched a handful of half dollar boxes and pulled maybe 3 or 4 40% halves, but no 90% halves. Sadly, some of the boxes had pennies or quarters in place of the half dollars so when I returned the unwanted coins it came up short a few times. It became to the point where it wasnt worth it any longer. Otherwise it has been very few and far between with the last one found about a year ago when I stopped at my local bank. They were processing a deposit I was making and I happened to see a Mercury dime in the coin tray. It was really beat up but I got it for face value. :P |

I think you need to refine your question. No time frame mentioned. For example when I was a kid, that is all there was. Think about this. Not to long ago it was really common to find Mercury dimes in change since Roosevelt ones were just getting started. Actually when I was a kid there was no such thing as a Roosevelt dime. |

I have had 60+ silver dimes handed to me at just one store, and well over $400 face in 90% &40% halves from various sources. No nickles that I can recall, and one quarter.
