Quarters, Dimes, Nickels, no skunks, Buffalo, Canadian, & Philipino

So I didn't have any halves to pick up today so i decided to try a box of quarters, and some dimes and nickels

I hit two 90% quarters in 1 box. I also have a 1968 quarter that I need to weigh tomorrow and see if it's silver or not.

2 boxes of dimes yielded 5 silver Roosevelts AND a 10 centavos philipino coin from the 50's.

2 boxes of nickels yielded 2 war nickels and my first buffalo nickel found, 1930.

Good night!!!!

Wow, 2 Silver quarters in a single box, that is amazing. My best was 2 spread out among 3 boxes, since then I have done about $4000 in quarters with nothing.

Take that Canadian, stick it to a magnet. If it sticks, its not silver.

Just from looking at your picture I will take an educated guess and tell you right now that 1968 is not silver. Looking at the two side by side I am able to tell weather a 1968 dime/quarter is silver or not just by the colour.

To me the color was nickel like also.

The Filipino coin is Copper, Zinc, and Nickel.
