Silver quarters hard to find

[7up2000]

I've found more than 100 clad quarters but no silver quarters. Why are silver quarters so hard to find?

After all these years in the hobby I've discovered that you have to find 10 silver dimes to find one silver quarter, this is the average. I've also noticed that your average will go up with experience.
When I first started I might find one per year. Now I am averaging about 8 or 9 a year. Just keep plugging away, they will show up.

I'm halfway there then. I've found 5 silver dimes so far. I'll keep plugging away til I find the elusive white whale--a silver quarter!
