Anybody Collect or Invest in silver?

I have a variety of the coins found on Coinflation.com. I personally like Mercury Dimes but I have silver quarters, halves, American eagles, etc. To round off my precious metals collection I also have pre-82 hand sorted copper pennies (by the pound, rather than the ounce). I collect both as an investment because I think the price will rise, but also as a hedge against inflation. Also, were the economy to collapse it would make great barter items.
I have some silver coins. I dont buy them, I just look for them in my change or I will occasionaly get a few rolls of halves from the bank and dig for silver. I have only a few hundred dollars worth though. I do have around $5000 in gold though.
I have a few silver coins from when I was younger and I look for them whenever I get change, but I don't have much.
i didn't even know today's quarters and dimes weren't silver
what are they? and when did it change?

ive really gotten into coin collecting myself lately. i work at a convience store, i occasionally find silver in the register. ive gotten 3 mercury dimes in the last week, but never found any before that. got some quarters, dimes, and a few nickels. nothing serious.
i have also jumped on the copper bandwagon keeping my copper pennies in a milk jug.

nickels were made with copper after 1945 and are worth 5 cents melt value right now. Pre-1945 nickels are worth almost $2 in silver melt value. Pennies were made with copper until 1982. Copper pennies are worth twice face value right now, which isn't a lot unless you have a lot.
