$1000 bag of quarter and $1000 bag of dimes with pics

[gordon and tanner]

There is only one local bank in our area that we have located that will sell us bags.
We can get them sporadically. Last week we scored a $1000 bag of quarters and $1000 bag if dimes.
Quarters were a skunk. we got a few casino tokens, Canadian quarters and and assortment of foreign coins.
The $1000 dime bag produce 6 silver Rosies and one Merc.

When I dumped the quarters it came to $995 so we took a loss on them.

Keep on Searching

Firmly believe searching a BAG is the way to go in order to find a FULL COLLECTION dump. Sooner or later it will happen, maybe this year 2018. Out of all the small banks in my area, only one will sell me a bag, and my scores are about like yours, 3-9 silvers. My day is coming soon I hope.

I been purchasing rolls of quarters for many years for laundry and never find silver. You did good.

on that Chinese coin does the edge have reeds if so it was made in the 50's

I assume that you tested the 1968 Canadian Qtr to see if it was 50% silver.

For anyone not aware, the 1968 Canadian quarter was 50% silver, 50% copper for part of the year and pure nickel (nearly pure anyway) for the rest of the year. Because high grade nickel alloy sticks to a magnet, the test is easy. If the 1968 coin sticks to a magnet, it is pure nickel. If it doesn't, it is half silver.

Obviously, the 50% silver is a keeper, but I also keep all of the all-nickel Canadians that I find.

Now all I have to do is dig up something worth $1000 so I can afford to go to the bank and get a $1000 worth of quarters.

I rarely go out of my way to go to a bank. This bank is on my way to my parent. I bring them lunch every Wednesday, I call the bank before I leave to see if they have any bags in the vault.
