IF YOU HAVE LIMITED FUNDS AND EXTRA TIME ITS THE MOST OVERLOOK AFTER THE SCARCE 35% SILVER "WAR" NICKEL AND THE BEST BET TO STILL FIND IN CIRCULATION

Well, thank you for your video, I haven't watched it yet, but will. I have never baught any coins hoping or looking for silver, but I worked in a gas station/fast food joint, and I got plenty of silver quarters. I worked at a popular casino, and the coin devices were jammed with collector coins, special tokens, you name it. My security supervisor would "dispose" of the bad coins.
Speaking of children spending silver, my baby sister found my silver dollars, and baught snowcones for three days for her and a friend, before I found out the silver was gone.
How's checking your change when you get it, a waste of time?

Even if you get rolls, it only takes a few minutes to look through them.

All my silver coins I have gotten in change. I don't have much, but I'm not going to go crazy trying to build a stockpile by looking through rolls or loose change. It's a nice surprise when it does happen though :)
Well I'll add my two bits. I agree with the OP and appreciate his advise. He is not saying that looking for junk silver is the best way to prep. What he is saying is that for those with limited income and available time, this is a proven method to obtain silver. There may be many better ways to spend your time prepping, but that may not be true for everyone. Thanks for the information.

Ok at the risk of looking stupid I just got to ask,, Why not just weigh the rolls on a digital scale in grams?
I know that the silver is heaver than the newer coins in quarters the silver weighs 6.2 grams and the newer ones are 5.7 that's about 1/2 gram
I don't have any newer fifty cent pieces to weigh but the older ones are about 12.5 I would think you could just weight the rolls and only
open the heavy ones. would this work?
Check the "coin returns" on the various machines out there, including the Coinstar coin sorters. They kick out the *bad* coins. Doesn't take any time as you pass them.
Just my FWIW.
I check all my change. Just researcha penny sales for a Million dollars, bet you could buy lots of preps with that
