SILVER COINS TO LOOK FOR

Did you know that it is still possible to find silver coins in circulation? Silver has skyrocketed in value and so finding one of these coins can be a real treasure indeed! In particular, there are dimes, nickels, quarters, half dollars, and full silver dollars that are still possible to find in your pocket change.
Here is what you should look for. First of all, some of the easier ones to find, and the silver nickels, only because of their recent issue date. They began making quarters partially out of silver in 1932 and ended using silver in 1962. Now just so you are aware, if you were to find a silver quarter from this time period, its intrinsic value (metal value) is now over $2! So, in other words, if you were to have a roll of silver quarters ($20); it would actually be worth about $160.
Another coin to look for is the mercury dime. This silver dime was in circulation from 1916 to 1945. These would be a little bit harder to find, but it is still possible.
The silver half dollar in circulation from 1964 to 1970 is thought by some to be the easiest to find. And this may indeed be possible due to its recent issue date. One of the better techniques for “searching” for these coins is through coin roll hunting. Essentially you ask for a roll of half dollars at your local bank, then you hunt through them, keeping the years that you want; and then “selling” back the rest. So, you can get a roll of coins for face value and pick out the most valuable ones that everyone else passes over!
Another coin to look for is the war nickel. The war nickel was minted from 1942 to 1945, just after the buffalo nickel.
