Last year on St.Patricks day, in a $50 bundle of dimes I found 16 x silver dimes.

This year (1 week before St. Patrick's day), I hit the mother load (26 x silver quarters) in a $100 bundle of quarters. In one roll I found an entire collection of silver quarters dating from 1943 to 1968 (only date missing was 1966) and then in another roll I found a 1968 silver quarter. My best score prior to this was a lone 1968 silver quarter a few months ago.

It is funny when you don't expect to find anything, you get a nice surprise like this.

What kind of 68 silver quarter did you find I thought that silver ended in 64 unless proof. I see that your are from Canada so I understand now.

I got a visit today too. I got 32 40% halves and 1 64 half from the same box. I picked up a roll and it had 11 40% in it and I was ecstatic, then I saw another 1967 on top of another roll, so I picked it up and opened it and it had 19 silver halves in it! Great score from BWR's.

fb101,

Actually quarters are very rare in circulation in Canada (like in the USA).
I was extremely lucky yesterday.

I just had my 2nd visit from a "small" Silver Leprechaun - just received a 1964 Roosevelt in change at a local fast-food drive-up window. 8 days ago found a War Nickel in a coffee change fund at work. Both times I traded/used clad to obtain the items - it pays to look and be vigilant! May the Luck of the Irish (Silver Leprechaun) be with ya!

Most recent book I've read: "Meltdown" by Thomas E. Woods Jr. Current book: "I.O.U.: Why Everyone Owes Everyone & No One Can Pay" by John Lanchester
