___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Hello DYEDYE1, I'm new to this site also, but not new to internet boards or coins. Earl42 gave you a good place to start, I have used it for my Sac and SBA hunting, and this will be a very helpful post for you. Just remember not all posts will be as helpful, there are a lot of miserable people on the internet, so just be careful.

As far as you silver question, it is very difficult to tell, in the late 60's and 70's silver coins were still in high circulation, but by now it is getting more difficult to find them, so again, I agree with earl42, there is nothing I know of that would tell you how much is in the hands of collectors and or how much has been melted, to allow you to calculate what is left of the original mintage of any coin or group of coins.

Oh yes, one other piece of advice, if you are searching for silver rolls do not buy them from eBay or etsy etc. I believe Daniel handles these on his site, also coinopp seems to be a trustworthy vendor. Although I have not bought from either, their videos are straight forward and seem to be truthful.
