I've been collecting for a few years now but till I start reading this board never thought to get rolls straight from the bank. So yesterday while at the bank I thought why not, an older gentleman was turning in rolls of coins in front of me so I just asked the teller if I could buy them. It was just a roll of nickles, dimes, and quarters but it got me started.

So my results weren't great for the 3 rolls but they were interesting and might have gotten me hooked

Nickles - Wartime 44D
1956 - Not silver (right?) but still old and filled a spot in my collection
Quarters - I haven't been collecting Quarters so I don't know what is silver and I should keep, but these are the oldest (pre 1965)
1941
1953
1963D
1964D
Dimes - One silver dime 1954D
and this it's the excat same size as a dime.......

The coins made before 1964 are silver,so the 1965 quarter is NOT silver. You are correct. If you decide to collect halves pre 1964 are 90% silver, 1965-1969 are 40% silver and there there are halves that are silver proofs.

Just one thing to add to Pennyworth's reply, the 1970 halves are also 40%. HH

Do you folks try and complete a full set while you are hunting or are you just going for the silver, wheats, etc?
