I am a student partially living off student loans and I don't have much cash available to spend, but for two days in a row I have found silver! spent $50 on tuesday just in halves and found a 69 ken, and yesterday i bought 2 rolls of dimes and found a 1947 dime! Now its time to search my register at work for silver!

Oh yeah, a few days ago when I got started, i found a silver dime and an 1882 indian head penny in my change!

WELL ITS A START save the silver you find till you get a bit of it --then sell it and use the cash for a "working" bankroll to buy halves , quarters or dimes at banks --cull the silver coins -- the others spend it as you would normal money * replacing your coins with paper cash to buy other coins with -- there is no way to lose money via this since the coins will always be worth the "face value" you paid for them and if you hit silver you pull ahead -- its like playing a you can't lose slot machine that pays off now and then.

I know what it's like being a poor college student, I was one back in 1984. Looks like you have a good start! ffd

Way to go, man!!!!!

The guy that tries to find silver with $50 will always score more than the guy that doesn't believe $50 in coin is worth doing.

In fact, I have as much respect for the $20 CRH'er as I do the guys that work 20 boxes a week.

Keep it up!!!! You are doing great!!!!

For small amounts go to the little banks in the grocery stores

I have had phenomenal success since discovering this by accident.

I don't know if it is because of the economy or if old folks are just cashing in to buy groceries
but I alway cull silver out of there.

I ask for a roll or two of dimes, half's, quarters or whatever loose one they got and always get handed silver.
