Silver Quarter in Change

[hirbonzig]

It’s been quite a few years since I found a silver quarter in the wild, but yesterday I got a worn 1944 in change along with a 2009 Canadian quarter. I went back and got $3 bucks more but no luck. Sent two kids in to make a purchase and get the max quarters back—still no luck. Maybe time to start roll searching again?

Finding a silver quarter in rolls is super rare. Dimes are a better bet, but even then super rare. Fun find though.

I can't remember the last time I found a silver coin of any kind in change. Congrats!

Very nice. Quarters are the hardest to find.

My only 90% in the wild was in change from a biscuit that I got in town

I agree that silver quarters are the hardest to find.

A 90 year old grandma must've cashed in her old change jar. Finding 90% quarters today is very rare.

I haven't found a silver quarter in my change since 2004. Came out of an old diner cash register in So Cal I used to frequent when I lived there. Lots of older customers.

I found a dime about 3 years ago in my supermarket change... a 1949 Rosy.

The last time I found a silver coin in change was back in 2007 in Albany, Oregon when I purchased a can coke with a dollar bill from a vending machine and received a silver quarter in change. It was such a rare event that to this day I remember exactly where I was when it happened--sort of like when President Kennedy was shot.

Got a silver 1964D quarter from a laundromat change machine last month. Was hoping to get a "W" quarter, but happier with the silver. Also found a lonely 1962D dime in a Walmart coinstar. Better luck with coinstars than metal detecting, as I have yet to find silver in the ground.
