    About this ebook

    Want to collect silver but don't have much money? This is the way!

    In these times of economic turmoil and loose monetary policy, you see the value of physical silver as a means of preserving the wealth you have worked so hard to build. You know you should have more silver stored for hard times to come, but how can you when there is little left over at the end of the month? The answer is pre-1965 silver U.S. dimes, quarters, and half dollars that surprisingly can still be easily found in circulation.

    Harold J. Forbes has found thousands of dollars worth of silver coins in circulation, and now shares his secrets with you!

    The Ultimate Guide to Finding Silver in Circulation is everything you need to know to find real U.S. silver coins in circulation, as well as other collectible coins. The most comprehensive work on the subject, this book will teach you how to:
    - Quickly identify valuable silver and collectible coins.
    - Easily find large quantities of coins to search.
    - Dispose of unwanted piles of searched coins.
    - And much, much more.

    You can build wealth by searching circulating coins, and The Ultimate Guide to Finding Silver in Circulation will show you how for less than the value of a single silver quarter. Read this book and start finding silver today!

    Author

    Harold J. Forbes

    Writing under the pen name Harold J. Forbes, I am a thirty-something man living in the United States with my wife and four children. I am a Certified Public Accountant and former auditor currently working in the accounting function of a publicly-traded Fortune 500 company. While completing my collegiate studies, I also worked as a teller for a mid-sized regional bank. I have been a casual coin collector since I was a child, and began searching coin for silver in the doldrums of the current economic crisis. I consider myself to be what many would call a prepper. Through my membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon Church), I have learned the importance of being temporally and spiritually prepared for troubled times which may be ahead. It is these teachings which guide my writings, which you will find focus more heavily on practical preparedness than hardcore survivalism. While there is a place for learning survival skills, it is important to remember that you are unlikely to ever have to deal with a Hollywood-style disaster. One of my biggest concerns is about the state of our economy and the stability of the currency. driven by the massive government debts we have accumulated and the ridiculously loose monetary policy of the last several years that has flooded the economy with dollars. This has led to a particular interest in silver, a true store of wealth and a form of money that cannot be arbitrarily increased by cranking up a printing press or with a few keystrokes on a computer at the Fed. I choose to remain anonymous for several reasons. Many of my writing discuss my accumulation of physical silver and my searching through large quantities of coin for silver coins, which would make me a ripe target for thieves. Additionally, many of my writings may cause controversy in my professional life as an accountant. While I will discuss some concepts with friends and coworkers, I generally only discuss my writings with those that I am closest with. I talk about silver and coin searching on my website at SilverInCirculation.com, on Twitter under the name @SilverInCirc, and as BillyOceansEleven on TreasureNet Forums. I also discuss general preparedness topics under the name BillyOceansEleven on the Survival Podcast Forums. Feel free to come talk to me or send me a private message on any of those platforms.

      About the Author

      Writing under the pen name Harold J. Forbes, I am a thirty-something man living in the United States with my wife and four children. I am a Certified Public Accountant and former auditor currently working in the accounting function of a publicly-traded Fortune 500 company. While completing my collegiate studies, I also worked as a teller for a mid-sized regional bank. I have been a casual coin collector since I was a child, and began searching coin for silver in the doldrums of the current economic crisis.

      My motivations for searching for silver are probably similar to yours: I have grave concerns about the stability of the currency as a result of the massive government debts we have accumulated and the ridiculously loose monetary policy of the last several years that has flooded the economy with dollars. Silver represents a true store of wealth, a form of money that cannot be arbitrarily increased by cranking up a printing press or with a few keystrokes on a computer at the Fed.

      I choose to remain anonymous for several reasons. For one, while I want you the reader to find silver by searching coins, I don’t necessarily want you to do it in my backyard. I discuss my finds on my website and on various online forums, so I don’t want to tip off any other searchers that may live nearby. Secondly, I stay anonymous for security reasons. Searching large quantities of rolled coin means that I often carry large sums of cash and that I have built up a decent size hoard of silver coins, making me a ripe target for thieves. If you seriously start searching coins, I would advise you to refrain from discussing it except with those closest to you that you fully trust.

      I talk about coin searching on my website at SilverInCirculation.com, on Twitter under the name @SilverInCirc, and as BillyOceansEleven on TreasureNet Forums. Feel free to come talk to me or send me a private message on any of those platforms. Also, if you like this book please leave me a review!

      Disclaimer

      I make no claims about how many silver or other valuable coins you will find following the advice given in this guide, or even that you will find any at all. Searching coin is in many ways dependent on luck. You never know precisely where you will find silver, which at least for me is part of the thrill. It is also worth noting that bank policies and procedures vary, so the methods I describe in this guide may not be suitable for use with the banks in your area.

      I take no responsibility for your success or failure in finding valuable coins using this guide. Your success will be dependent upon your own work, execution, and luck. I am also not responsible for any account closures or other adverse action a bank may take against you for your coin searching activities. While providing and accepting coin is a legitimate service offered by banks, it is the choice of any bank to determine the conditions under which they provide services and with whom they do business.

      Also, nothing in this guide should be taken as legal, accounting, or tax advice. Every situation is different, and if you have concerns in these areas you should seek the guidance of a qualified professional familiar with your individual situation.
