My the bank I get bags from has just signed a contract to accept coins from a laundromat and a car wash. Has anyone had any experience with what the incidence of silver I might expect from those types of businesses?

I got my first bag today from the bank, they shipped out 3 bags of quarters 2 days ago, so sounds like they may be getting a couple bags a week.

Yes, I have a guy who goes around emptying quarters from laundromats and he calls me every few weeks with handful of silvers. I get mostly common dates but every few months he has some Silver state quarters in the mix.
*He does pull out the silvers before he bags them for bank deposit so you might want to try few bags to see if your laundromat guy does the same. Good luck

That is what I was thinking, I would try 3 or 4 bags and see what I get. So far with this bag I have 1 silver 1964 and about 1/3 through the bag

Found just the one 1964 in the bag.

Will try several more and then stick to dimes and halves
