How much silver left?

[Sleepy Holow]

How much silver per denomination do you think is out there in circulation? Does anyone have any good sources/educated guesses? And why is it so hard to find quarters? At some point in CRHing history, was there a run on quarters over a certain period of time?

dimes - 15,274 coins
quarters - 2,981
halves - 12,999, it was an even 13,000 but I just found one in my last box.

Those are the exact numbers

A simple math-a-matical form-u-la:

Limited supply -(ever increasing frequency of culling/CRH efforts + more crh'ers * a greater volume day by day) *1.0001 to account for occasional dumps = less silver over time.

and by those estimates I'd say Joe's pretty much dead on. I gave him the formula in the past, hence how he was able to calculate it.

There was a run on all silver coins 1965 into the 1970s. Many coins were destroyed for marginal profit. Quarters have always been the easiest to spot, which is why they're the hardest to find now.

The coins you find now aren't ones that have stayed in circulation.. they're ones that made it BACK thanks to the ignorant.

And due to the fact that in recent years Brinks, Garda, Loomis ect, simply could not justify the cost of maintaining their culling machines, so they got rid of them.

It is a replenishing supply everytime a CRH dies or his kids or grand kids come over and take it for candy or video games it goes back into circulation. All we save will one day be spent by our children and grandchildren. Who could careless about the silver. That's why you find complete cwr of coins

A few months back, I calculated (roughly) all of the modern silver mintage since the late 1800's... It came to about 2.4 BILLION of ounces minted!

Damn it, there is NO silver left! We just take different pictures of the same coins so unsuspecting visitors waste their time CRHing.

 

[usandthem]

Did they usta make coins out of silver?

 

[fistfulladirt]

From what I've read, studies say about 10% of all silver minted remains.
