Im planning on going out during lunch to purchase a few rolls of coins. Any suggestions on what to get as far as probability of finding silver? are the half dollar rolls better than quarters?

Your best bet would be Dimes or Halves, I dont see too many people having luck with Quarter. Last time i did quarters, I found about 90% state quarters

I hate being this guy, but your best bet is to read this thread...

It is a great resource when you are just starting out (I just started a month ago or so)

Don't forget war nickels - 35% silver. You get more silver per $ spent buying war nickels than any other coin bought at face value.

Welp, went through 7 rolls of dimes during lunch today. the only thing i found that is even possibly interesting is a coin dated 1968 with 1/2Fr. on one side and a lady with a shield on the other. Under her it says "Helvetia". Any ideas?

Also, any dimes 1965 and up are def not silver correct?

Yeah i think it is swiss. Silver or no? when in the roll, it did not have that copper look on the edge like 95% of the dimes did.

Went and cashed my dimes back in at the bank, didnt even make it back to work before i stopped at another bank and got 4 rolls of dimes and 5 rolls of nickles.... im hooked already

Learn your coins. Get a Redbook. They still mint silver coins.
