From my Friday purchase of a sealed cloth bag of 473 Ikes and an extra 72 from other banks I got skunked as far as silver (I think I've only found maybe 10 silver after checking 20,000 of them) I did find about 30 that need further examining for BUs. I always look for 1972 Type 2 (proof reverse). So far I've found 2 of them in all the Ikes I've searched over the past 4 years.
I also searched through 15 CWRs of halves. Found one 1968-D and nothing else worth mentioning.
And finally, 20 CWRs of quarters I bought for a friend's business. I of course had to edge search them. No Silver, but I found 1 Mount Hood, 2 D.C.s, 1 Am Samoa, 1 V.I.
I've been accumulating CWRs of cents for two plus years, waiting for that rainy day ... well guess what, that day has arrived ... I'm broke ... time to get rid of the two tons of zinc!
