I "found" some info today (it's a slow day at work). Take what you will from my first 200 silver coins from 2015, but I see questions about percentages come up. I assume 20 years, 30 years, and 40 years ago it would be a very different snapshot. Location, available sites, and other factors make this very subjective, but here it is: My first 200 of 2015...

80 Mercury dimes: 40%
34 Roosevelt dimes: 17%
32 quarters: 16%
132 dimes: 66%
5 half dollars: 2.5%
25 Washington quarters: 12.5%
4 SLQ: 2%
6 barber quarters: 3%
1 seated quarters: 0.5%
1 Spanish Cob: 0.5%
2 Spanish reales: 1%
17 barber dimes: 8.5%
3 seated dimes: 1.5%
OD nickels: 2.5%
1 seated half: 0.5%
1 barber half: 0.5%
2 walking Liberty halves: 1%
1 Franklin half: 0.5%
2 Canadian silver:1%
1 capped dime: 0.5%
8 Reale coin: 0.5%
Spanish Silver: 2.0%
Silver dollars: 0.0000% (crap)


Enjoy

200 Silvers ? I know of one gentleman who resides in Canada ( moderates a forum of our Northern neighbors as well ) and he also has
hit the 200 mark for silvers . I am stunned by these numbers - in 11 years of detecting I think I've found 50 silver coins total , and I'm
not complaining !

What an impressive total to this point Scrappy!
Love to hear that specific sound those silver coins make.
Best wishes for that Silver Dollar to pop out!
