Quarter silver - Worth the time?

[GarouLady]

I am wondering if anyone has any luck with boxes of quarters from Brinks? From what I have been finding that a lot of banks and credit unions around here uses them. I have done pennies and nickels so far. Halves have been hit and miss since I can only get about a hundred dollars worth at a time.

Sincerely, Garoulady

Dead.

Every once in a while someone post about a quarter find. People start to think that maybe the quarters are not dead, and get a box for themselves, but most of them find nothing.

You might always get lucky here and there, but I have never seen any consistency from quarters. You are really better off with dimes and halves.

Try it all why not you never know

Not worth it, I've never found a silver quarter from CRH. Just stick with halves. Plus pennies and dimes if you have a Ryedale.

Sure it's worth it, for it's only a hobby...I get one silver quarter per $500, so it's the same as my 2.5 dime finds per $500.
You asked if Brinks quarters are worth it. I've never had luck with Brinks, but it's rare that I get a Brinks box.
I will also add that my chances of finding a 90% silver quarter are greater than finding a 90% half! Which is more rare?

I find most silver quarters when I notice a patterned collection dump and buy all rolls. But I will do about 100 dollars a week and look for obvious errors. I have pulled an off center I sold for 20 dollars and I look for rotational errors and missing clad layers also. So it is all in what you enjoy finding. One thing is simple though if you don't look you wont find them. They are out there but they are diluted among all the states, territories, and now parks coins. But remember as proof halves are cashed in so are quarters and they had silver proof sets also.

It's not worth your time, obviously Brinks culls all the silver.

If you're going to do quarters, do CWRs. MWRs are tough going (Ive heard around 1 per 5 boxes) and Brinks is doubly bad for CRH as its suspected they cull.

I have never found a silver quarter from rolls. Then again I have only done a couple boxes.
I have gotten 2 silver quarters while working as a cashier though.

Garda and Loomis just announced yesterday that they are starting to cull as well. The end is near for all of us.

Do you have a link to this announcement? I couldn't find one on my search.

Oh wait. I think I get what you are saying now.

What about Dunbar? Do they even have halves? I've gotten nickels from them.
