Hunting Quarters for 1 year

[hughmaster10]

I’ve decided to hunt quarters for silver. Even though halves are better. There is just something about finding a silver quarter in circulation.
I know they are more scarce. But I’m interested to see how many I can pull in 1 years time.
From June 2018 to June 2019 I’m going to see how many I can pull. I will post results and how much I search through. Wish me luck! )))

I'd be interested if you can update this thread each week with the amount searched and keepers. I presume you will only be searching for silver? or Are you going to enumerate every tiny die crack on every state quarter?

My main goal is to see how many silver quarters I can pull in 1 year.
But if I find something obvious I’ll definitely keep it. I’ll also look for the Wisconsin extra corn leaf variety
And yes I plan to update either weekly or by the hunt

Good luck. Sounds like it’s going to be a lot of work.

You getting rolls or boxes? Let us know the amount of $$$ you go through also.

Hugh: maybe we will start calling you the QUARTERMASTER if you do find several, (like the US Army branch of QuarterMaster Corps). Good luck on your quest.

Gonna be doing a lot of CWR with boxes mixed in as well.

Lol. Let’s wait until I actually find some silver first.. hehe

Ok I started the hunts a couple days early, which is tonight.

Picked up 350$ CWR from 2 banks

Results: SKUNK

I won’t allow myself to get discouraged, I know quarters are tough. But that’s why I’m after them. Gonna try to pick up more tomorrow at another bank

 

[hughmaster10]

Also I know this thread is about quarters. But I found these halves this week.
All teller trays.
4 in 30$ loose halves.
Then today the teller had 1 half dollar, ended up being the dirty 1967.

 

[hughmaster10]

Also these foreigns took the place of regular quarters in the CWR’s in tonight’s hunt smh

I wish you luck, and look forward to seeing your success ratios. Not to discourage you, but I hit quarters relatively hard a few years ago. 2014 was my best year by far in which I searched $6,700 and found 9 silvers. However, the other 4 years I searched I averaged 1 silver per $3,000 searched, having gone through maybe $10k/year. Eventually I decided my time and dumping capacity was better spent searching halves and occasionally dimes.

I will say that I didn't search many boxes - almost all were CWR's, $50 - $100 at a time. When I hit pay dirt (meaning 1 silver), I'd go back and buy all the rest they had. It paid off a couple of times, relatively speaking. I did do pretty good finding state quarter errors/varieties, but I also found a lot of Canadian.

Regardless, I hope you have better luck than I did.

Is agree I’m not going to stop searching other denominations. Mainly halves. But I want to try bigger numbers In quarters to see what I can pull. I live in a big city so I might have higher opportunity. We will see

Keep the Bicentennials - you can sell them by the roll for a small premium.
I'd be interested in your bicentennial stats too. I usually find 1 per $40 or so.

The nice thing about quarters is banks don’t mind getting tons of rolls of them. So if you re roll them there easy to get rid of. The banks around my part love quarters because they go through so many.
