I have many containers of coins. I keep meaning to sit down and sort through to see if I have anything of collectible value, but I really don't know what I'd be looking for.

For silver content I made a small spreadsheet that might help. This is screenshot based on today's silver price.

‘71 - ‘78 on the Ike dollars is only for collectible coins (as in 40% silver proofs or uncirculated bought from the mint at a premium price). You will not find those in circulation unless some thief robbed a collector and doesn’t give a damn about getting full value vs. getting some money right now.

Thank you for that chart!

Based on the advice in this thread, I will probably just get a bank account at a bank with a coin machine...but I think I will first use your chart to weed out and keep some of the coins with decent silver content. That could be done relatively quickly. I have a cheapy sorting machine.

I emptied our stash and found one bicentennial quarter, one BUFFALO nickel, a foreign coin, a wheat penny and one other coin I forgot what it was....
