Quarters are the hardest to find silver in.

707 rolls searched, 2 quarters found. 1 quarter for every 7 boxes.

I will still grab a box of quarters when I am out hunting if I cant sub out 2 boxes of dimes or another box of half dollars. You just never know.

I don't usually search quarters but I only have one box of halves for Fri. so maybe I'll p/u a box of quarters for the weekend - though I'll probably regret it and be reminded why it is I never bother searchin' 'em.

Search a couple thousand dollars worth, then report back
I've had decent luck the few times I've searched them, usually small amounts of $300-$700 worth, I will find a single silver.

Same thing with me here, 4 boxes so far hitting the wall. Just keep trying and probably you will get something interesting.

Quarters are pretty much a waste of time. Last week while on my pickup run one of the tellers told me about a customer who had ran almost $6k in quarters through the coin counter. She told him she had been accumulating them for more than 20 years. Thinking that this might be a good score, I bought the 6 bags and was rewards with 1 1964D and a 1998S clad proof. Not too good for 24,000 coins searched, but that is unfortunately typical for quarters.

I searched 3 boxes of Brinks Quarters early in my CRH career ( December of last year ) and I netted 2 quarters within 3 boxes. Since then, its been tokens and Canadians.

I will still do quarters though, if nothing else is around, cant hurt. Ill take the time to sort and possibly find a $6 quarter.

I plan on doing at least 2 boxes of quarters tomorrow and then grabbing whatever CWR's that I find. I am nearing in on my next 1 in 7 boxes so I might as well continue

I like to say that quarters are so hard to hunt because they are so easy to find. What I mean by that is that Ag quarters are easy to spot because of their size. The frequency that they change hands causes them to be noticed, and therefore captured, by the masses.

Ag dimes are harder to find by the masses because they are small and nondescript.

Ag halves aren't found by the masses because they don't circulate.

You basically hit the nail on the head. The reason I continue to do quarters I stated earlier. I also wont hesitate to take CWR's in hopes someone dumped a collection.

The only silver quarters I have found have been dumping finds. A lot of coin counters reject silver quarters -- yet another strike against finding them in boxes.
