I've seen a couple of post like this lately. There must be a lot more silver back East cuz out here in Calif. I've never seen even a silver Washington quarter in change. I've got a couple of coin operated washers and dryers at the apartment building I own on the poorer side of town. They bring in an average of about $200 a month, all quarters, and for the last 10 years I've never seen a single silver one. Thats about 96,000 quarters
I found another SLQ in the rejected coin slot in a COINSTAR coin counting machine this summer.
And when I had a job at a Cumberland Farms gas station I used to get tons of mercury dimes.
One time at the gas station I got a large Canadian silver coin, it was the size of a silver dollar and I think it had a totem pole on one side.
I think it was 1850s I sold it at a coin shop, that was before I got hooked on metal detecting.
I wish I still had it but I needed some cash.
