machine that will separate out the 90% silver quarters?...

Does anybody know of a sorting machine that will separate the 90% silver quarters from the clad quarters? I want to buy one. Thx.

I would think that someone with electronic and mechanical skills could alter a Ryedale type machine to do just such a thing.

The coin counter at my dump bank rejects silver of nearly all types (not sure on war nicks though...)

Try this and other discussions like it. It took my son and me over a year to get successful at this (dimes).

Call a local td bank with a penny arcade, ask them to check the manufacturer of the machine... Might cost you a arm and a leg, but it sorts silver out 50/50.

Unless you are getting $500 bags you will be wasting your time and money. Silver quarters stick out like a sore thumb!

Joe beat me to it. You'll be going through a LOT of quarters, and likely never make back the money spent on the machine. Year before last I hit quarters hard. Went through $11,270 of them. Ended up with 3 silver quarters.

Well, I'm doing a little better than you are. It only took me 8 boxes to find 3 silver quarters. I'm concentrating on quarters now because, for me, the dimes have been terrible. In the last 10 boxes of dimes I've found only one mercury dime. Frustrating!

1. Buy 8 boxes
2. Find 3 silver quarters
3. Buy expensive sorting machine
4. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
5. Profit

90% of the work is getting the rolls open. It should take 2-3 seconds to check the roll to see if there is silver in it or not, like I said silver quarters stick out like sore thumbs. What are you gaining by buying a silver quarter sorting machine? You will be spending MORE time and putting wear and tear on an expensive machine costing you alot more money than will be gained from any silver you find. That's my expert opinion anyways!

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

Yep, they can discriminate dimes, quarters, and halves if you set it up correctly.
