Okay, so I've been reading different things about silver coins and how a great percentage were melted down (I believe in the early 80s) and it was kind of depressing. Also, for every person on this board that coin roll hunts, there are probably 1,000 more doing the same thing who are not on this board. It got me to thinking how many coins are still out there to be found. Granted, I know the number will be constantly changing with people plucking them and then some coming back into circulation. I was just curious to see an estimate of how many silver coins (war nicks, dimes, quarters, halves and dollars) you guys think are still lurking in the wild. My personal opinion is several hundred million. Does that seem high or low? Thoughts?
