Yes, but the silver coins are more difficult to find in circulation, however, I've found a few. When I do find them in change, it's usually because i paid cash at an icecream place or other establishment that attracts kids. I think some kids find a load of quarters at relative's and think they're just quarters, so they grab a handful not realizing they're silver. They make a unique noise, so they're easily spotted.
Oh yes, the clang they make is quite different. And the sides are different. I have gotten exactly TWO in all of my time out of change at the store - and this was back about 10 years ago. I get mine from Ebay or online or at gold/silver/coin stores.
All my scrap silver coins have come from estate auctions. I have hundreds if not thousands of silver coins from auctions. Hey, when they're giving away 10 Morgan's for $120, it's not difficult to stand there and buy every lot. Lol!
I remember, after he passed, sorting through coins that my grandfather had coffee cans full of in his closet. Coolest ones I remember were a couple silver dollars from 1796 or 1798. Felt like I was holding history.
copper. I have loads of them. Quarters from 1964 and earlier have silver, too.

Wow! I admit I'm jealous, lol.
What year are the silver quarters?
1964 and prior, I have all kinds of years, some of my earliest ones are from the mid 1800's.
